I've gotten an email recently from POF in regards to my 308 I bought from them 6 months ago, with an offer to "upgrade" my chamber to the new design.
I do reload for this rifle and what I'm wondering is have any of you noticed any adverse effects to cases with this chamber?
On one hand I can see a potential benefit with making the extraction a bit less violent. I'm thinking I should see less case stretch and extractor wear on my brass thereby extending it's life.
On the other hand that does absolutely no good if this gas that is forced into the case shoulder deforms the shoulder.
I'm just a bit apprehensive about spending $ on an irreversible modification if it destroys cases. What do y'all think?
