geez, I still get a bit misty when I get quoted around here!  Cool chamber Tim, has to be a great setup!

That's what I thought I'd get, but this chamber must have been a min spec chamber to begin with and Wayne's reamer must be an older reamer that's been sharpened a lot that cuts a tight chamber and I ended up with a chamber that I think may actually work with factory Whelen ammo. So I'll just shoot it the way it is and see how she does, since mattparliament's standard 35 Whelen Handi using 61.5gr RL15 under a 225gr TSX will do 2815fps, I hope to best or at least match my 26" RMEF's ~2900fps with the same bullet in the shorter barrel.  ;)
