I have a rifle I'm about certain has a bad chamber from my"gunsmith". I had it chambered about fifteen years ago and never really shot it much. Being deer legal now have had some trigger time and noticed incipient case head separation on my brass. I kind tried to check the headspace with tape on the bolt face but won't know for certain until my no/go gauge arrives. My question, if I decide to rebarrel to a different caliber, has anyone here actually finished a short chamber by hand? I've watched a few videos but I've also watched a few on vehicle repairs that weren't quite as easy as watching them. I'm pretty well mechanically inclined but want some been there done that feedback before I buy a barrel and rent a reamer only to find huge disappointment or worse percent disfigurement. Leave it your the pros? What say INGO?
