[QUOTE="Centre Punch, post: 877850, member: 3048"] sambo, you contender barrel can easily be re-chambered in 257 weatherby, the cartridge is longer and fatter then the 25-06 and will completely remove all traces of the old chamber. I must disagree with what has been said about re-chambering to 25-06 AI, the barrel must be sat back to do a proper job, maximum headspace is intended to be .004" shorter then the max headspace of the parent cartridge. This is to ensure a crush fit on the parent case shoulder aiding correct fireforming. It is common place to use the parent case Go headspace gauge as a No-Go when gutting an improved chamber together with the correct improved Go headspace gauge. Ian. [/QUOTE]
