[QUOTE="Boozer, post: 1105895, member: 22146"] Rack I appreciate you taking the time to read some of my old posts. It's helpful to gain a background understanding. At this point I have no idea how we got here, but here we are. I have heard that there was a small amount of throat erosion with the David tubbs bullets, but I cannot imagine them causing anything like this. It is possible that my gunsmith got a little heavy handed when he touched up the chamber, but again, I don't think a drunken orangutan could have screwed it up this bad. Plus, the accuracy never really degraded after either of these events, but it sure didn't improve. I tried seating a bullet out long, and chambering it. Sure as ****, no contact with the rifling. Afterward I measured the test round, CBTO was around 2.95. COAL was around 3.60. It is depressing to discover that I needed a new barrel, but at the same time, a relief to finally figure out what then hell is going on with this **** rifle, and I get to maintain my dignity regarding my home brewed seating depth gauge :) I managed to find a pic of the old chamber cast. I'll post it for grins. Doesn't appear to be anything wrong, but it was before the hand reaming, and David tubbs bullets. [/QUOTE]
