[QUOTE="Weatherby Fan, post: 2032403, member: 29953"] I have mostly custom rifles and the OAL guage has always been fairly consistent, well one of my 6.5-284s had to be rebarreled, brand new Benchmark barrel was used, everything I put through it showed signs of pressure ? Not only that I had a hell of a time getting a consistent measurement with the OAL guage, I knew just from that something was up with the chambering, sure enough back to the gunsmith he found all kinds of strange scoring from the reamer, he rechamebered with a new Manson Reamer and poof all fixed. So I’m going to suggest it’s a rough chamber job, maybe a very old reamer ? [/QUOTE]
