[QUOTE="Tac-O, post: 2198356, member: 109994"] Thanks for the tips on the throat reamer. Is that possible without a lathe? I thought all work on barrels had to be done with them. I am handy with tools, but don't have many gunsmithing specific or any machining tools. I measured both my fired cases and unfired cases this evening. My unfired cases, that I FL sized, are about 1 thou less than saami max cartridge for the body for 284win. They also provide about 1 thou headspace. When I chamber the unfired cases, it feels hard as though my headspace is at max (but it's not) and leaves marks around the body. So, while turning the necks may help with the neck size problem (which is something I don't currently do and wanted to avoid) the body is still an issue. I'll ask him about different reamers he has and it is is possible to ream it in 2 steps, like you suggest. [/QUOTE]
