[QUOTE="7stw, post: 748708, member: 22854"] Steve, as a matter of fact, I spoke to my " smith" tonite about the details of the crown, the throat, and the action. He took a look at the rifle I have on layaway as the " donor", and said he was very impressed with the action as it is, but he said after he blueprints it, it will be perfect as a picture. The crown is going to be a 11 degree target crown, with a 45 degree chamfer, and a 1/8 flat surface surrounding the crown. The reamers are minimum SAAMI spec, with a .145 leade. He has a state of the art digitally controlled lathe, that looks like it could be in the mission control center at NASA. And he Guarantees a smooth chamber finish. I thought about the 280 AI, but I dont care for the fire forming, or expensive brass. I simply love a 280 just as it is, and it dosen't need to be overdone. The 280 rem is what made me fall in love with 7mm bullets many years ago. So I decided to build a sweetheart, and so far, I think it is going to be just that. Take care my friend! [/QUOTE]
