Help me decide...
« on: September 22, 2012, 04:55:09 PM »
Got the 30-30 AI reamer to do a bad chamber Handi.  Also have an older Glenfield and now I'm thinking about doing it also because I can.

Let's hear what you have to say, either way.

Thanks.

If you handload and want to do it, no reason not to unless you are worried about selling the Glenfield later.  I have a Handi in 30-30AI as well, from a botched 7-30 Waters barrel that was bored to 308 instead of 284 :o , (had to send another 223 barrel off to get the 7-30 >:( ).  I've shot it a few times, but never really played with it to develop loads.

More expense, but I'm considering sending the AI barrel I talked about to JES Reboring to have it done into a 375 Win., since I have several of those too.  That would clean up your 30-30 chamber and give you a .375 bore to explore. ;)   Would be easier to get it to shoot than the 38-55, if you have any interest in that cartridge.  Jess does the 336 Marlin/Glenfield in 375 or 38-55 as well.  DP
