[QUOTE="Rustystud, post: 288629, member: 9964"] Over the last couple of years I have had several Remington 700s and model 7s with tthroat lengths way beyond SAAMI and CIP specs. Especially on 308, 5R mil spec rifles. Having discussed this with numerous other gunsmiths and the Reamer maker(s) that Remington uses we have come to a consensus that the folks at Remington are running wild with throating reamers or flex hones. Because of the barrel contours (lack of metal) the factory barrels can not be saved and have to be replaced. Properly cut chambers will allow for bullet seating that will work using the magazine. I have saved a few factory barrels by using Kevin Wyatts extended mag boxes (+.110 longer) and some machining of the loading ramp. Nat lambeth [/QUOTE]
