    Opening up Tight neck chamber

    Hello Knowledgeable Ones (and others).

    I have a 223 target rifle that has a tight neck chamber (so marked at .250 so only "relatively" tight) - it shoots superbly and has gotten me placings in a few FTR matches BUT its a right royal pain to reload for with the brass requiring strict segregation and special prep, and even them I strike the occasional refusal to chamber.

    Has anyone had a chamber like this opened up, if so what were the effects on accuracy ??

    Its a Kreiger cut rifled barrel with a very low round count so I'm a bit hesitant about an "experiment" !!
