This is what he rigged up for me, A factory loaded bullet that he just took apart and put the rod in it to put in the barrel slowly without generating heat he said. Anyone else got good suggestions if I shouldnt do this?

No you should not do that. Period.

A good suggestion? What you should do is sell any and all guns in your possession and buy a Nintendo with the money, and then sit on the couch and play video games before you hurt yourself or someone else.

Are you for real????
 
Man you guys are hardcore here!!
So let me get this straight, your not supposed to modify the rifle to make the handloads function properly!!?? Lol!

No. Not when the rifle might have a higher IQ than the potential "Modifier" might have.
 
Easy now guys, don't insult him. Not everyone knows what to do and what not to do. He just isn't getting very good advice. I think what the person who made the contraption pictured had in mind is to use lapping or polishing compound to smooth out any burrs in the chamber. Not the best idea but it's not going to make it blow up or anything. What the owner needs to do is have a gunsmith look it over, maybe getting a borescope involved. Shouldn't be more than a few minutes work to make sure everything is proper and a minimum charge. On occasion, a chamber reamer leaves a burr and it needs to be honed out. Preferably by a gunsmith instead of someone who doesn't have the right equipment or technique. I had a burr in my exctractor cut on one of my custom barrels that I polished out with a brass rod and lapping compound and it proved to be one of my most accurate barrels ever. It happens and is not a big deal to someone who knows what they are doing. It's a lot more helpful to keep the insults down and offer real solutions.
 
FWIW, there are certain barrel makers out there who will no longer warranty a barrel if you use JB or the like on it.........

Key words that do not apply to the OP in this instance. I'm sorry but I don't know how else to say it after reading the entire thread.

If you have ever lapped an engine valve, then you know exactly what this "thing" will do - it will sand blast the chamber, shoulder, and neck!!

A chamber reamer cannot leave a burr - they can leave chatter, but that's all...

He is not suffering from a burr in an extractor cut.

He is suffering from buying handloads from an idiot.

Ok since only a few people are offering help and the rest are just being [beeep] ill look for help elsewhere. But I thought this forum was designed for people with questions who dont know what there doing and have other people help you out. Not ask a question before you do something to make sure its ok to do and have people insult you because I ask a question about something I know nothing about. Just because I shoot guns all the time doesnt mean I know how to work on them. If you don't like the questions I ask then dont respond I dont need your negative remarks.

Send it back to the maker. It sounds like you have a lot of problems.

A little advice, if someone on here is trying to give you advice on what to do(especially when they are trying to stop you from destroying your gun) id listen instead of trying to tell them why your doing what your doing and why its ok....because someone else told you its ok. If you alreayd know the answer why are you asking the question. There are some incredibly inteligent individuals on here that want to go out of their way to help you, untill you argue with them...take me opinion for what its worth. I have been there, and i have been wrong. Listen and learn.


Oh, and send gun back...should have done that in begining. If savage finds out you have shot hand loads through it then good luck getting it fixed...especially loads that hot. I have seen savage first hand get nasty over fixing a gun for legitament probnlem before, acusing the owner of shooting handloads through it, even though he was usuing factory ammo..

Read up on chip weld during chambering and what happens when a chip transfers to the chamber wall. Reamers most certainly can leave a burr. Chatter is far more common though. There are also many prestigious gunsmiths that advocate polishing imperfections in chambers although I promise they would use nothing like what was pictured.
Send the whole works back to the manufacturer and have them fix it or take it to a reputable gunsmith on your own dime.

Yeah I'd send it back to savage, they will take of this for you, I had to send a new rifle back to them last summer and they were pretty decent to deal with. It took about six weeks to get it back from the time I sent it out. Altho I spent almost six weeks on hold waiting for them to answer the phone every time I called.
you can reach them at (413)568-7001
Good luck with this

Chip weld is when the chip welds itself to the reamer, not the chamber - it cannot weld itself to the chamber because the next flute is coming in a millisecond to remove the next layer of metal, and anything else that is there.

Reading something does not mean you understand it.

Try doing it sometime before you lecture others about it.

Gordy Gritters, Norm Brux, Dan Dowling, Karl Feldkamp, and Jon Beanland have all had a burr in their chamber at one point or another... Maybe you want to argue with them since you're the expert? And yes, I have chambered a pile of barrels.
