I am running a .458 Socom barrel with an extremely tight chamber, the gun has roughly 40-50 rounds through it and it’s been cycling a bit better after each use but it’s still not going fully into battery 3-4 times per magazine.
Should I just keep shooting it to see if it gets better or should I go ahead and ream the chamber?
I found a place online that I can rent a .458 Socom hand reamer, go & no go gauges for $42 so it isn’t cost prohibitive to get the tools, I’m Competent enough to build ARs and can read & follow directions but I’ve never done any chamber reaming so I’m not sure if should even consider doing it.
Thoughts?
Here is where I can rent the tools.
