[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2995574, member: 101791"] I'll go along with what has been said. The one thing I do now is I buy the reamers for the cartridge I am going to use. That way I don't have to go to somebody else to have a barrel re-chambered with their reamer. So I have ended that problem. I have gone as far to have another action and stock set up with old barrels to fire form my cases using my reamer for the chambering. Being a 700 Rem Action and the barrels being set up to thread into the action. I have gotten old barrels from where. All I need was the same caliber barrel, so I can rechamber to my cartridge for fireforming my cases. From what I read it takes as much as 3 firing to fireform the case. I never had track the amount for firing needed to acheive that. Take 100 cases that turns into as much as 300 firing just fireform the case. I believe that the chambers that I have had built are barrel burners. I figured that from the start. So I am prepared to fireform my cases and extend the life of the rifle barrel that I am using to hunt with or shoot. I am not a match shooter either, so I feel I don't need a custom action for what I am doing. I might try a custom action along the way. I have to look into it more. Set up of stock or stocks, and threading the barrel and changing out the barrels. So I think I have said my peice for now. [/QUOTE]
