[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 1865571, member: 38048"] Dumb explanation about has Chambers are so crooked. If you dial in the bore using a range rod or a Gordy rod you are putting the chamber straight to the bore. The only way to get what he's talking about is to just Chuck your barrel up in a 3 jaw and start cutting. I don't know one gunsmith that would do this. So he came up with a complicated solution to a problem that doesn't exist. And like he said most custom rifles are off by .003 so how do my rifles shoot in the zeros and 1s consistently. All the best you could hope for according to him would be 3/8 moa if all was perfect. Just isn't so. I would put my 1800s method up against his any day of the week. If his way was better or if there was a problem with the 1800s method the benchrest crowd would already be doing it. I'm part of that crowd and we still use the 1800s method. I could show anybody how to dial a bore to turn within .0002 and that will give you a straight chamber. Magic. Voodoo. Nope just good machining skill. Shep [/QUOTE]
