I being of sound mind today with nothing in my body but flexaril have taken a swag(pure lead slug in case and pounded on to fill chamber area) of this win mod 70 featherweight barrel. When I picked up the casting I knew something was not right. After reading the slug I placed my smallest diameter 30 boolit a 311-466 in end of bore and it pushed straight thru easily and now I knew something was amiss. Here is a photo of the results, I am not complaining except I only have 2 molds that will work. The molds for 308 will have to be paper patched. This barrel I bought about 15 years ago, it looks brand new and I bet the guy who had this gun pulled the barrel because it didn't groub with factory rounds! I have a shortened case above to show how nice the long neck will work. I think I need to ream the neck to be perfect for the new case. I love challenges and this now is one. I have some 303 brits with almost identical throats and bores.
I forgot to add the twist is 1-12

.006" tall lands! Wow, it should shoot like a champ once you get things figured out. Only problem is, what reloading dies will you be using after opening up the neck to .342"?
It's not about gun control, it's about people control. The progressives are using terrorists and the insane to further their agenda. If the socialist news media wasn't complicit, we could sit back and watch Fast & Furious and Benghazi-gate unfold.
the same 308 dies I am shortening to match the chamber I will ream out for the neck. Thank goodness every thing is bigger rather than smaller. It still is weird but I am happy.You may not post new threadsYou may not post repliesYou may not post attachmentsYou may not edit your postsForum Rules
