357 max rechamber a snap.
« on: May 18, 2004, 08:18:55 AM »
I finished with the max rechambering this weekend.  I cannot believe how fast the reamer cut through the metal.  With some nice slow turns it took less than 5 minuets :grin: .  Put the extractor back in cleaned it up and fired a few rounds through it.  I like it :grin: .  Now I just have to put it to paper and see how it chrono's and so forth.  If anyone is riding the fence on the max rechamber it is quick, easy, inexpensive and fun.  Now to send the reamer off to 308 and a check to DJ, thanks DJ this worked great.  
 
Now what next a 22 khornet of 445 supermag :grin:

:D  I was telling how easy that was to ream mag barrel but i think
my barrel was long enough for 360 DW. I only reamed about .20 in
I think mine is better now. So the reamer is still sharp even after I shaved one time with it. Good luck :-D  :-D  :-D  :-D  Marv

It seemed to shoot pretty good.  I was just blasting on old rotten tree that was half gone at about 25 yds but it had nice clusters considering it was standing offhand with iron sights.  Time and a good bench will tell.  I had to spend more time cleaning it up than I did with the reamer.  Thanks to everyone for there help on the extractor question I had.

Oh yeah Scruffy for next year I may have a new close range yote gun :grin:

I can't believe it still cuts after marv shaved with it. :-D It can't be any more of a snap than re-throating the .45-70, that was a breeze. I was expecting to take off a bunch of metal, not much at all.

Now if I can figger out how to get the rear sight off the barrel so I can use the Williams WGRS rear sight I bought for it. :oops:

308 the way to take the rear sight off, You have to drive the Horzonal
 pin out so you can get to the screw that holds sight on barrel. Twice
 I broke the screw that holds on barrel. Marv.

Punce

308 What I did for punces to work on H&R -NEF's is take small
drill bits and brake off drilling part and use the butt. Pick out the right size
 Just a comment.  Mine work pretty good. Marv.
