[QUOTE="IdahoCTD, post: 1047358, member: 13110"] How far is it from the "belted" portion to the case head? In most rifles I've dealt with the measurement would be .175" or less. What your concerned with is the gap between the back of the chamber and the front edge of the bolt. If that distance isn't excessive, like over .020", then running the reamer in further won't do a thing except create excessive headspace. Your case looks like it's longer than .175" but that is just a guess. In reality, if you expanded a case that much you could have permanently deformed the barrel provided the barrel tenon is correct.
