[QUOTE="calinb, post: 2134906, member: 31242"] I wish I'd found this thread a couple of days ago when I was debating Bergara B-14 HMR 300 Win Mag vs. PRC with myself! I ended up ordering the 300 PRC. :( When I first started this read, I figured no problem--I'll just chuck-up the barrel in my lathe and open up the aft end of the chamber, as described in early in this thread, but now that I've read the thread to this point, including the recent reports of the chamber sanding/polishing hack not working, I'm bummed. It seems like the shorty resizer might even work better than sanding out the chamber. Unfortunately, it's tough enough to obtain even one FL sizer these days. I'm still trying to figure out what FL die to backorder (perhaps Redding, based on what I've read here). Maybe I'll order the Reloading Technologies collet die too (I could use it for my 338 WM and 358 Norma) and then bore, turn and mill a new 300 PRC collet to try.
