Reaming Question

[jawshunting]

I have my new 6br Norma built and just waiting on the stock. I had it reamed to .262 After reading several posts and opinions on this site, I'm wondering if I should have went .272. So the question is, Can my smith go back and ream to .272 without much trouble and without messing anything up? No neck turn seems a lot easier.

The best bet would be to set the bbl back sligthly more than the length of the neck and recut the chamber with the new reamer.

Yes, he can go back with a neck reamer and open it up to .272. That is, if he has a .272 neck reamer on hand.
