[QUOTE="Tumbleweed, post: 2793653, member: 9281"] Hi all. Looking for some educated opinions here. I have a 300RUM with only 350 rounds on it with a DE +P that that is 95% gone. It will need to be rechambered if possible, with a traditional lead this time. Essentially I have 1- 1 1/8" freebore in this thing which will make it impossible for the reamer pilot to find and follow the lands even with lopping an inch off of the tenon first. I have heard from one local smith so far that feels very confident that the reamer will follow the old chamber and center up perfectly until the pilot finds the lands. Is this a big no no? If not, this barrel is junk. Thank you [/QUOTE]
