Hello again

Bramble - Yes thank you it helps a lot. I got the message now and will do as you suggest and cut the headspace after the barrels have been fit in the monoblock. This gives rise to new questions; the reamers sold by Triebel in Germany do not have the rim on the reamer, but have a special rim cutter. Is this the usual way or do the reamers from Pacific Tool cut the rim together with the chamber? Further is it necessary to buy the rough reamer or do you get the barrel maker to rough cut the chamber? 450 NE no 2 sounds fine to me. Have you bought RCBS dies, or does Pacific make them together with the reamer as suggested earlier?

Hi Andreas

I got the proof pressure from Ellis Brown who has it from “The standard Directory of Proof Marks” Gerhard Wirnsberger (1978).

Hi Bananza

I havn´t even thought about sleeving the barrels. What is the pro et contra on sleeving versus fitting new barrels? Won’t sleeving make for a mussel heavy gun?

Regards
