This is gem has a problem in that the chamber has a pronounced radius from mid neck to case mouth . Having given much thought to what to do with an otherwise untouched GI rifle sans stock ,it lives in a Boyds prairie hunter, I have a couple of options . 1 build something else with the action. 2 find someone who needs it more ,the accountant may not go along with this. 3 I own a 280 Rem finish reamer I could make it a 7x60 and cut down a Lee 280 Rem sizer which would remove most likely situations of a factory +p+ getting into it and restore a square neck. It'll only see cast most likely from me and the next generation will know as there is an instruction manual for everything for each of them.

Could you just set the barrel back a thread or two and rechamber to 7X57?

I have considered that but cost wise it will be almost as much as a rebbl and I have a couple of take offs . Maybe it is best to just retire it. Funny how she doesn't want me to sell it but might go for a rebore and 7.62x57...... to much time to think.
