[QUOTE="Seabeeken, post: 2415133, member: 68015"] I agree, it sounds as though the chamber may be oversize at the rear. I had a 280AI barrel made and upon firing there was a .010 bulge on the case just forward of the web. It looked horrible. After a call to the barrel maker and giving him some measurements, and him trying to get me to overlook it, he had me return the barrel. I also sent fired brass. He called and said he would have to remake the barrel and that the "trainee" who did the chamber polish overpolished the rear of the chamber in addition to polishing crooked and took too much off one side of the chamber. I realize mistakes happen and was more upset that he tried to get me to keep it as it was. Ive not ordered a barrel from them since. You may be able to set the barrel back and recut the chamber with minimal barrel length lose. You smith will have to look at that. [/QUOTE]
