[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 3057908, member: 69478"] You can deepen a chamber pretty easily .001-.002. Put the barrel in a barrel vise, coat the reamer in a cutting oil, slide the reamer into the chamber until it’s up against the shoulder in the chamber, then put constant even forward pressure on the shoulder as you slowly rotate the reamer clockwise. Take it slow and try going like half a revolution, when you pull the reamer out, slowly turn it counter clockwise and back as you pull it out. Look if there’s chips on the reamer. If there’s chips, clean the clamber thoroughly with some brake clean and compressed air then a bore mop. Check the headspace. Repeat if necessary. [/QUOTE]
