[QUOTE="entoptics, post: 2074382, member: 104268"] The spare is actually the OEM Savage barrel. But the same logic probably applies. It's unlikely to be cut the same as the current X-Caliber that I want to modify. Still, I can make a dummy round and practice getting it to the lands, before attempting it on the far more precious mid-lifespan X-caliber. I'm also not after some precise throat length. The mag won't allow seating all the way past neck/shoulder, so my goal is to simply get a little more powder capacity, and have a little more room to confirm that this rifle is as insensitive to seating depth tuning as all my others. If I can hit pretty close to 0.15" that's fine. Even if I overshot 20 thou, I'd still be able to jam every bullet I've tried so far, inside mag length. I think I might try this myself, so if there's any other suggestions, let em fly. I'm also interested in accuracy/fps win/loss/ties that people have seen from doing this or similar work. [/QUOTE]
