[QUOTE="Apex Custom Rifles, post: 2797487, member: 19307"] I rarely do setbacks for one of many reasons. To do it right, it usually ends up being a little more work for the gunsmith than starting with a new barrel. It usually isn't cheaper ether unless they toss it in a steady a pray things will line up. At this point you are relying on the guy before you to have cut a perfect chamber and threads and the old chamber to line up perfectly with your new throat position if you're going to rely on that. Without measuring, and taking an arbitrary # like 1", you may end up with your new throat in a non-optimal spot (i.e. over a loose spot in the bore due to erosion). Not to say it won't work, just may not be its peak potential. I personally wouldn't feel great about relying on the old chamber to "Find the lands" when a bushing engages. Many guys do it, I just choose not to waste time with it. [/QUOTE]
