I'd get a piece of scrap steel and try that before experimenting on a barrel.

I've been shooting .22/243 Midd. for a number of years now and have seen its creators name spelt 2 different ways. I understood that this chambering was created by a San Diego dentist in the '60s, I believed to be a Paul Middlested. My Redding die box has his name spelt Middlested, could...

John Hinnant talks about hand finishing the final part of the chamber in the lathe in his book "Precision Rifle Barrrel Fitting", in my edition no mention is made about how far from finished depth you should do this. Have any of the Forum done this, how far from finished depth did they hand...

I've worked up a load for the 22/243 Midd. that's working very well, no fireforming, just form and shoot! I reloaded some of the cases that i'd shot and couldn't find any difference from the original non FF brass loads. Thanks for the replies.

I had a spare tap wrench which I shortened the handles so that they just missed the lathe bed if the reamer grabbed, I also made a plastic container which had a magnet (out of a scrap loudspeaker) fixed to the bottom, the container was then put on the crosslide. Put some paraffin in the...
