[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 338877, member: 1521"] It's likely Remington could care less about reloading specs implied in some manual.. I've had several factory guns that lands could not be reached on in cal (no bullets existed long enough). Pretty sure it's common. But why would they care? Do Sierra specs reflect Remington's standards? Or Winchestor's? It's likely that neither are SAAMI, but instead whatever the makers (and their lawyers) want for THEIR ammo.. And that's probably unreachable lands. Also, premium barrel makers do just that. They don't do alot of barrel finishing(chambering, headspacing, crowning, engraving, coating, etc). That's best left to your gun builder, with desired reamers and action in-hand. Your VTR is Remington's design and build. If you want it YOUR design and build, then who do you figure is gonna make that happen? A gunsmith might be able to reset the chamber, if it happens that he has a matching reamer. But if he has to order one, he'll probably recommend another cartridge or new barrel. Ya just can't add metal. Many people demand more than factory providers are bound to abide. Some will later concede that going custom from the git-go would have saved them time & money. Some go Savage cuz barrels are plug and play with them. If you really really like your gun, and no load is gittin it, just rebarrel it and be done for about $700. [/QUOTE]
