[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1149845, member: 2736"] If I am going with the same cartridge or one that will clean the chamber up I set the barrel back one full thread and it places the barrel ID back in the right place. When going with a shorter cartridge I like to remove the entire thread shank so I have the right amount if threads. Normally unless the barrel is a straight taper with a long shank or a cylinder there will not be enough shank to cover the cartridge. (I like the shoulder to be in the larger or at least in the transition of the shank to barrel start. (Where the barrel shank and the contour/taper starts). The next thought would be to replace the barrel and end up doing about the same amount of work. (With 1200 rounds down the barrel, it would be hard to guess how much barrel life is left). I consider setting a barrel back as a means of freshening up a good barrel and only hope to extend the life of an accurate barrel. This is just my philosophy and the way I do set backs. PS: It is always fun to try something new as long as you don't expect to much from the outcome. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
