[QUOTE="yorke-1, post: 1443699, member: 11960"] I'll be the odd man out and say just do it yourself with one of the PTG Uni-Throater tools. I have them for 338 and 30 calibers and I've used each of them many times with great results. If you're capable of fixing a leaking kitchen faucet, you're competent enough to lengthen the throat. Just go slow and read the directions, they remove material very quickly! I ended up getting the 338 reamer after a very well known shop damaged my reamer and ordered a new one hoping I wouldn't notice. The replacement reamer had the wrong freebore specs so my chamber was cut with .010" freebore. There was no way I was going to send my gun back to them after waiting 10 months for them to mess up both my reamer and my barrel so I just ordered the Uni-Throater and fixed it myself on a work bench in my garage. That gun still shoots .3 MOA which is all I can ask for from a magnum caliber specialty pistol. That's likely as well as it would have shot no matter who did the barrel work on it. [/QUOTE]
