[QUOTE="Barkbuster20, post: 2176172, member: 116205"] I have a 1903 springfield that I bought a few years ago that had been reamed out to 30-338 wm - I bought a set of 30-338 wm rcbs dies and my resized once fired 338 wm and once fired 7mm rem mag cases will barely allow the bolt to close - new brass neck sized chambers fine. I alsocouldnt hardly chamber resized 7mm brass using my 7mm dies so im certain its a short cut chamber and not the dies. How difficult and expensive would it be to ream the chamber out to 300 WM? Would be more practical then a wildcat. Was also thinking of reboring to 338 wm or 358 Norma but I dont really want to put a lot of money into this rifle. Just want it to be a bit more practical. **also want it to be properly chambered - would have left it 30-338 but if it needs more cutting there is no point not going to 300 WM [/QUOTE]
