Finished Rechamber project
 

Have had a project on my mind since Jan this year, Don't like the Idea of my bride shooting the .45/70 or .35 Whelen out of a stand during primative weapon season for recoil reasons:shaking: So I rechambered a .357mag handi rifle by hand to a .35 Remington:rolleyes: Ordered the reamer, go & no go gauges after a couple days of reaming & polishing the chamber, replacing the extractor it's done! Gun had black synthetic stock & forearm which I replaced with wood in youth model, Leupold rings & Burris 3X9X40 on top. Enjoyed this project!


For comparison
.45/70 approx 24 ft lbs of recoil with 300 grain bullet
.35 Whelen approx 22 ft lbs of recoil with 200 grain bullet
.35 Remington approx 13 ft lbs of recoil with 200 grainer + it's a 200 yd gun:D

Nice work dude!

.357Mag & .35 Remington

Not too bad................100yds shooting off the post on my back porch . May go in a day or 2 & shoot it off a bench & lead sled that group will tighten way up! I can't hold still:shaking:

Good job Jeff. Got a second career in mind??

Ha! I wish! Ready to give up what I'm doing now!:pissed:

Fixing to start on a second rifle for me:rolleyes: Exact gun just adding Camo stocks:smokin:

I knew that group would tighten up on a good solid rest! Very pleased!
