It's real easy to do, since I had the ejector out doing the bluing and bore polishing, figured it would be a good time to take care of it.

:D   I want to give you guys some thumbs up for going ahead and trying the rechambering in your BC's ... I think a lot of us are quietly watching how it goes and appreciate your adventuresome approach, probably several of us will follow suite!!!  I for one am thinking about trying it, wanting a 45-90 or possibly 45-100, and after seeing the concerns about smith's workmanship, might even try to get ahold of a reamer and tackle that myself.  Think of yourselves as pioneers ---- not as experimental guinea pigs....   :eek:   :-D  :-D   :toast:

I did the extractor mod a few months ago... getting whacked in the forehead with a 45-70 case is a little more painful than the occasional 357.   :)  :)
