[QUOTE="IdahoCTD, post: 1302783, member: 13110"] They were probably trying to say that most likely their minimum chamber reamer would be smaller in the neck compared to the factory chamber if it's a minimum SAAMI spec reamer. That would create a step in the neck when it was rechambered because the WSM is about .085" longer than the SAUM. The only way to insure that would clean up is to set the barrel back enough to recut the whole neck and most factory barrels don't make the best candidates to set them back that far. They lack flats at the chamber end like most aftermarket barrels and can be hard to hold in the lathe with no real flat section. [/QUOTE]
