[QUOTE="canderson, post: 389334, member: 10891"] I would take it to your gunsmith and see if he will let you watch the operation. It is a simple method and tool use but, if not get impatient or lose focus, you will have a lot longer throat than you wanted. If that happens you can either jump your bullets or have the smith set the chamber back. I watched my local smith do my f class rifle. He let me borrow his throater becasue I had to move it out a little farther. The hand throater is essentially a precise drill bit. It is very sensitive to pressure. The more pressure=more material removed. Bottom line watch someone do the first one then if you think you can do it, let er rip. [/QUOTE]
