[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 1925609, member: 38048"] All the smith had to do is measure how much the reamer went in too far and cut that amount off the shoulder and end of barrel. The chamber does not need to have a reamer put back in it. It's a 30 min job at most and will work properly when done. If he takes a 280rem go guage and add shims to the the rear of it till the bolt won't close on it and measure the shim stack thickness that is how much needs to be cut from the shoulder and rear of barrel. Re-chamfer the corner of the chamber and screw the barrel back on. Very simple fix. If you lived here I would just fix it for you. Shep [/QUOTE]
