Why would a gunsmith change the shoulder of a 338 Lapua ?

[QUOTE="texasdave, post: 287707, member: 1960"] I agree with this last two postings. I guess I have not explained, the smith I used is no longer in the business. It is a very unfortunate situation but that option is not available. I went to him and have always respected his vision and especially his work. Due to no differences between us in any way he is unable to help. I wanted to find out why he had done what he did. I think everyone has answered this for me and the information that has been shared here really has helped. For one the subject of bullet weight was never explained to me like here. On his load development he never shot heaver bullets and I will say that I shoot at another smiths range and he has never suggested a heaver bullet. In defense of him he mainly works bench rest rifles. To me it just goes to show ask people that know and you will find the answer. I really appreciate the help. Oh to answer the question about dies yes he built custom dies. I also think he had a rig with an older barrel he fire formed the rounds in. I would still go that way but unfortunately that is not an option. I can not say enough thanks for all the kind help and advice. Hey I hope I can repay the favor along the way. Sincerely, [/QUOTE]
