New question for the smithy typs. Bass I know you like the 458x2" so you might could answer this. I have a Win Mod 70 FW push feed in 458x2" for sale in my shop. Since it is for a wild cat cartridge I know it will sit for a long time. Not many reloaders here. I want to ream it to 450 Marlin mag without putting $ in it. Seems to me that shouldnt require much metal be removed. Question, If I rent the reamer and procede carefully can I do this by hand? If so please explain what I need as I have never done this. Cautions? please explain. As a 450 marlin this will be more marketable here and I would like to have it ready for moose season in August. Where would I rent the tools , and what can I expect to pay. Bass I just know your saying why would you ruin the best cast boolit chambering as I have read your praises of the 458x2". I cant afford to keep it so I have to get it sold and thats about the only way it will ever sell from my shop.
Thanks to all
