If I had a Pre-Fit barrel chambered in 338 RCM would it be possible to chamber it to the 338/375 Ruger?

I've hand reamed the chambers on 2 separate 338 Win Mag barrels with excellent results. It would take anybody with a lathe less than 1 hour to rechamber it for you.

Could you explain how you hand ream? I’m picturing using a T handle from a tap set. I need to get my lathe back together. It wouldn’t handle chambering a barrel I don’t think but would handle a custom die set or break.

Action wrench showed up yesterday. Ordered the wheeler #1 wrench. Bolts where too short! With the action in the wrench the bolts wouldn’t even touch the base?!?!? Quick trip to millers one stop fixed that. I’ve read tons of threads talking about how difficult it is to remove a vanguard barrel. With a 3’ cheater and a good load of table muscle it popped loose no problem. I think my rem 700 was way worse! Took me an hour and I had to cut a relief in the barrel. Vanguard was like 2 mins and no cutting. Things left on my list:Die’sBrassProjectiles Go/no go gaugesAt some point I’m going to upgrade my stock. I don’t like this black hawk anymore. Looking at the mdt lss XL chassis
I'll have a factory tikka 30 Cal barrel, wonder what I can do with that!Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk
