Well let me start by saying I hope that I am posting in the correct place, I am having a problem finish reaming my short chambered .300 win mag mauser barrel.. I was very cautious to not take too much out while reaming, talking about removing a half turn on the reamer then cleaning the chamber and checking with go gauge, just as the bolt starts to close on the go gauge I say to myself, "hey let's try the no go gauge" sure as hell the bolt closes..so crap I try the go gauge and still feel as if its tight, obviously I stopped at this point with reaming. It chambered rounds with force on the bolt as if it was still needing a few thousands removed, I test fired 10 rounds leaving the brass swelled up at the belting, I am starting to wonder if some how the chamber is oblong.. I was very careful not saying that I could not have done something wrong I just never came across this before after chambering a good amount of mausers in the past. Any help is appreciated ... action is a m48 large ring receiver, barrel is a shilen.
