I assume the only choice was to leave a schitty bore or clean it up to something else and hope that bore diameter worked out.

I guess I would rather have it as he did it as opposed to a bad rebore job.

Lookimg like it's time to find another barrel or sell the rifle and buy another to be rebored.

Initially I just assumed he went from 243 to 358 after measuring/inspecting. But if he went 243 to 338 and didn't think it was functional/safe, the jump to 358 makes a lot more sense.

Read 2 posts above mine. That particular post should have been included in initial post to clear the water a little so everyone wasn't assuming they just went to 358 Winchester.

There was a reason for what they did. It just wasn't known to us until later in the thread.

The last time that bear ate a lawyer he had the runs for 33 days!
