Thanks.

In other words, is there enough metal in a .323 to cut up to .338.?
I know that there is a minimum but just don't know if .015" is enough.

A quick call to JES will provide you with a solid answer to your question, plus any other questions you might have.

It's been 50 since a visitor last paused at your tombstone.....
Now explain why you're in a pissy mood today.

I know I had a 30-06 that I couldn't bring back to good by cleaning the bore. I asked about reboring to 8mm-06 and was told I would have to go at least 338-06. You couldn't just rebore one caliber higher. It had a pencil barrel and I really didn't want to remove that much metal.

Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.
