    Greetings EBF,
    I rechambered a Parker Hale 1200TX target rifle to .30-06 AI 30 years ago. The only minor problem I had was that the original chamber had been cut to 7.62 NATO specs and the Winchester cases showed a noticeable bulge just above the solid head. This may not have been a problem with Norma or Lapua cases. I worked up to 60 grains of AR2209 (the older and slower AR2209) for 2,830 fps. It was quite accurate in spite of a worn barrel. I just neck sized the cases with my .308 Win neck die, not willing to spend what the rifle had cost me just for the dies.
    Regards Grandpamac.
