[QUOTE="Kevin Cram, post: 572767, member: 2215"] I don't typically talk costs on an open forum (prefer pm or e-mail) nor braisen enough to make the claim I have the most accurate lathe in the business either, but it's **** close and no need to brag at how much it cost. It doesn't matter how accurate your lathe is, when your dialed true to the bore and pushing any 243 Win chamber to 6mm-284 without cutting off the entire chamber your limited to the what the run out of the original chamber is. A reamer will only follow the existing chamber with a floating reamer holder. If your going to cut with a ridged holder and the original chamber is not true to the bore of what you dialed in to you'll oversize the chamber and it will act like a boring bar. Feel free to PM, e-mail or call I can explain in more detail. I charge in between Chads price for an entire thread, chamber, crown, fit, 320 grit finish and engrave. I don't charge more for indexing the flutes. For what you want done I'm only doing 1/2 of what an entire chamber job costs, my price reflects that. [/QUOTE]
