[QUOTE="Ckgworks, post: 2074348, member: 105102"] I have lengthened the throat on a 6.5 Grendel by hand.......I posted about it on here a while back. It was pretty easy, and I have been very happy with it. I drilled out the primer on a piece of fired brass and used that to help keep it centered up. A nut on the back side to control depth. Now that I have a lathe, I'd probably do it in that, but as others said it is VERY easy to over cut, and doing it by hand maybe gave me more control? I bought the reamer as I had about 5 barrels to do at different times, but renting one seems like the way to go. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
