My .358 has been in the shop since last July, I haven't seen it yet, and she still won't chamber anything. Turns out my gunsmith got his reamer secondhand and when someone resharpened it, the reamer ended up too narrow. Now I've got to wait another 3 months before PTG can get a new one done! Kills me. I play with the big cases I have loaded up with 250 gr Partitions anytime a buddy asks me about the gun. It was supposed to be my elk rifle this year and I don't know if I'll ever see it.
Oh it was a Remington 700 in 7mm Rem Mag, 24 inch Douglas 1:12 twist #3 contour, Bell and Carlson Alaska Hunter II stock green with black webbing, Talley lightweight mounts nikon 3-9X40. Now the smithy has to set the barrel back to reream it. Can't wait to have it done.
