[QUOTE="StumpGrinder, post: 2117724, member: 114832"] I agree, in watching Eric Cordovas videos he starts .20 off the lands and moves away from the lands to find a repeatable node. This is seating the bullets deeper into the case. I would not risk screwing up a barrel just to get maybe 50 fps extra. Unless the throat is already eroded to the point it needs reemed anyway. I know competetion shooters go through 1 or 2 barrels per year and maybe you are in this group but I expect my m 77 to out live me. If your bent on reaming it anyway you might just as well reem it to AI specs, or one of the Wildcats. The mag well can be modified to fit whichever way you decide to go. If your willing to shave metal to reach your goal don't let a little wood, plastic or fiberglass stand in your way. [/QUOTE]
