[QUOTE="hankle, post: 2782623, member: 125888"] I Just dropped my Rem 700 off at the smith for trueing, new barrel, and chambering. I'm going with 270 AI. I hear some horror stories of Ackley chambers being cut too long and factory brass not head spacing properly for fire forming. Some have to jam the lands to fire form. My choosing of this cartridge was based on a surplus of factory ammo. It would be a terrible waist if my chamber turned out bad. I'm renting the reamer and gauges from 4drentals.com Does this come with a print/schematic that will help guide my smith? To be clear my smith is a very talented machinist. He is a full time machinist and has patents on suppressors. He did my target rifle and it turned out great. He just doesn't have experience with Ackley chambers. What information should I get him to make sure everything goes well? Or am I worrying for no reason? [/QUOTE]
