[QUOTE="BEEMAN, post: 1611273, member: 38130"] i bought a 338 rock creek blank from a guy years ago. My plan was to rebarrel my 300 RUM once it was shot out. Well it’s now time to make it into a 338 Edge. Problem is my Smith can’t find a pilot small enough to fit the bore. This blank isn’t “stamped” very well. It’s more like scratched/carved into the rear of the blank. Under a magnifying glass it looks like it’s marked .329 and .362. Did I get taken on buying this barrel? Smith has tried 6 pilots and his 338 range rod went in maybe halfway. He says he tried my reamer with the pilot it came with in another barrel he has and his range rod fit fine??? Any help is appreciated. Tried calling Rock Creek but no one answers the phone. [/QUOTE]
