Which is?
clowdis said:2 to 3 hours depending on your setup.
Uthink Uknow said:Yep. Three hours.
And index it so that what is left of the marking on the old set up is at the bottom of the barrel when installed on the action so it doesn't interfere with the new marking. Now, if you are only setting back a short distance, you may be able to save the marking but it will be closer to the action.
How far are you setting back and why?

Just enough to re chamber.
I feel like I must be approaching the maximum rounds for this barrel (.308 @ 3500 rounds) and the throat is a little cracked.
Also I had a new reamer designed I wanted to try out.
Thing is it still shoots bug holes.

Thanks
When I try something out of the ordinary, I look at it a while and think while I am on the crapper, but when it's something pretty routine, I just crank it out, collect the fee, and move on to the next job.FroggyOne2 said:Now John, you know that for some it will take a lil longer cause they will have to stare at it for while first.
