[QUOTE="Hired Gun, post: 482759, member: 1290"] Just wanted to add the barrel is not removed from the receiver when the barrel is supported through the headstock. Cut a piece from a 3x5 card to protect the barrel from the jaws. I wouldn't shorten it. The 300 Win will lose substantial performance when cut down. I would dial in the last 2" of the bore then thread and cut a fresh new crown perpendicular to the bore. Since the bore is rarely ever perfectly centered in the barrel this will leave an edge at the brake joint that cannot be blended perfect without disturbing you barrels finish. [/QUOTE]
