[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 212850, member: 8843"] Well thats alot more freebore than what you wanted and your right about not being able to seat the bullets out to chase the lands as it wears. Did the smith use a throat-less reamer then ream the throat by hand to match your rounds? It appears not. It seams to me that the barrel should be setback about 1/4" and rechambered correctly to match your wanted dummy rounds. I had heard about Pac-Nor doing this same things for a fella that wanted a 300 Wby with no freebore so he sen't them dummy rounds and he got back a gun that had more frebore than a factroy Wby.!! , they replaced the barrel because it came up 1/2" shorter than he ordered and he threw a fit about rather than letting them set it back. Anyhow if the smith is a good guy it should be no trouble for him to make this right to make the customer happy. It only makes sense for him to do this because in this game one mad customer can ruin your buisness , for example one of the great guys here that everybody knows and respects build you a gun and its not what you want , won't shoot or whatever and doesen't make it right , well then you come here talking abut how this guy did you wrong ,that alone can cost that smith a ton of money just by putting a little bit of doubt in the minds of potential customers.
