[QUOTE="gunnar andersen, post: 1826087, member: 99774"] Just happen to see this thread is still active. I'm now into my 4th year experience and a 4th chambering. My experience is somewhat different direction than most here. My goal simply was to replace a 7x61SH with a non belted cartridge to give me same performance using the 160 gr. NP hunting bullet. I started with a Shielen barrel and a reamer from PTG CIP. The tolerance was to the large size or the re-size die to the small end? Next, I sent the reamer to Manson to have it grind to a smaller dimension, as cases from Norma and my die is towards the smaller end of the tolerance size. Re-chambeing both an old 7x61 and the Shielen barrel with the 'smaller' reamer I can now get 20+ reloads from my brass, as before only 10 max, note the brass is very good and expensive as well. I now have on order a Stainless steel barrel 6 growe 9.5 twist, which I intend to install on a Kliengunther rifle/action. I use Re.26, 68.4gr 2990ft/s, N560 67.6gr 2957ft/s or MRP 67.6gr 2916ft/s.
