Need to borrow…..one round of 300 Weatherby

[levers]

I have a rifle that is marked 30-06 but it has been rechambered to either 300 Win or 300 Weatherby. It will chamber a 300 Win round but I don't have a 300 Weatherby round to try in it. Would anyone be willing to loan me a round to see if it will chamber? I'm in south Tempe area.

 

 

Thanks

I would buy some cerosafe and make a chamber cast. Only for sure way to know what you got.

Id take it to a smith.... sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.

I was just going to see which would chamber and then loan it to my buddy to see how he did. I found a smith that will do the chamber cast for $60. Does that sound fair?

I have both 300's in Peoria if you need a caseing for each.

 

Slug the chamber would be the best bet.

Not too hard to do yourself...

I have 300 Weatherby, but agree about using a smith. Prescott area.

Well, I would provide the ammo for him.

Actually, one of the gunsmith's I called told me to go ahead and fire a 300 Win in it. Another told me an easy way to do the chamber cast at home so I'll do that.

This isn't by chance a ruger number 1 single shot with the barrel marked 30-06 is it?

Do you mind sharing? And did it work?

The gunsmith suggested doing just as the video link from Midway in the earlier post except using paraffin wax. Have not tried it yet.

Only asked because my grandfather had one stollen that had been rechambered. No one would know until trying to shoot a round through it
