[QUOTE="tobnpr, post: 2793774, member: 68758"] First things first... what's the contour of your barrel? If it's a "lightish" contour where you'd end up with part of the chamber ahead of the barrel cylinder I wouldn't do it with that (or any other heavy magnum). Gotta say "I don't know" insofar as possible chambering issues with the DE tapered throat. Your smith is correct in that the reamer (just like any other form cutter) will follow the existing hole, but personally I have concern of the unknown as to how the reamer might be influenced when the pilot does engage that oddball throat, and you need to clean up every bit of the original plus all of the erosion. So for me, I wouldn't do it simply because I'm not positive it can be done without issue. Maybe there's another smith on here that's been there, and done that. [/QUOTE]
