[QUOTE="Buster Hemlock, post: 1731790, member: 109327"] Definitely have the chamber and dies cast but my bet is that since the 284 AI is a wildcat that what the gunsmith did was use a set of 7x57 dies and recut them with a 284 AI reamer when the rifle was chambered. A 284 reamer will clean up a 7x57 chamber or in this case the dies and the only thing that would be off is neck length as the 284 case is 54 mm in length and the 7x57 is 57 mm. For a set of dies that neck length wouldn't matter. Definitely get it checked but I'd be willing to bet that's what you find out. [/QUOTE]
