[QUOTE="bamban, post: 2306194, member: 17722"] When I wanted to re-barrel my 35 yo Howa to 280AI, I sourced (free) a take off Remington 700 barrel in 7-08, threaded it for the Howa and chambered it to 280AI fireforming barrel. Finally unscrewed after fireforming 4 boxes of new RWS 270 brass, and torqued the new 26 inch barrel. Since I did the work on both barrels with the same reamer, case headspace is not an issue.
