[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 1129729, member: 25383"] I've done it several times on personal rifles, and I sort of have a rule that I want to at least remove the neck length plus another .06" minimum. Still that's just me. Yet a lot of a barrel set back has to do with the chamber quality as well as throat damage. I had a Remington that I ended up cutting 2.75" off the big end just to get a good chamber. On the other side of the coin, I did a barrel set back on a Savage 22-250. I shot a lot of 3031 thru that barrel plus some others that tend to burn pretty hot. I ended up doing about .40" to get to virgin metal. Just varies per rifle, so start out with a good bore scope job, and maybe even a chamber cast. gary [/QUOTE]
