I have a question about either cutting a current chamber deeper and setting the barrel back or say cutting a chamber deeper to make it an AI or some other improved version of the current caliber. The chamber is already cut of course and all barrel work done. How do you go about setting up the barrel in the lathe? What I mean by that is I have recently tried that just playing around and basically I removed the runout from the muzzle end and a spot just about 1/4" in front of the current cut chamber so I could check the actual bore. Then once that was all zeroed out, I indicated the chamber and the chamber is about .008 out. So if I were to just cut the new chamber like that, it would obviously oversize the chamber since the case size is the same as before. Do I just indicate the chamber in to recut and go with it? I am still pretty new at this and just playing and learning on old barrels and such right now.
Thanks,
Greg
