Hand reaming rifle chambers
« on: October 31, 2010, 03:42:02 PM »
Have any of you ever recut a rifle chamber by hand? I have a 338 Win Mag that I want to rechamber using my 338/375 Ruger reamer. I can get it rechambered by a smith for $75, but the wait time is at least 1 month. I have been thinking about doing it myself but I'm not sure that I'm up to it.
