My .22-250 Ruger MKII VT is presently in the works to have its (shot out) barrel set back and rechambered. I was quoted 250 �, including freshing up of the muzzle crown.

My guess is you could get it done for $100 or so.
I have 6.5-06 reamer if you need it to rechamber if the 'smith does not have one.

I can do it for $35 plus shipping.
I'd need 3 sized cases from Your dies and your shell holder. I'd set it up with .002" headspace.

If you can pull the barrel yourself, I don't even need the action. You'd have to do some measurements, and give those to Me, but the rest is quick and easy.

The cost to pull the barrel, re machine the shank, re chamber to correct headspace, assemble and test fire is $125.00 in my area.

For what you need, I would charge $95 plus return shipping of course. To do it correctly, one would need the action and bolt to determine correct headspace. I wonder why someone would need three fired cases from a chamber that had .100" excess headspace? Perhaps the correct headspace gauge is missing? I have all the tools necessary.

Thanks for all the replies. I'm going to see how this baby shoots with some cases formed ala Gibbs style (headspace on a partially formed neck)and see what happens. If by some miracle it's a shooter, I might spend the $$ to get a body die made and use bushing dies for the neck. I'll report on accuracy soon!

280 Remington brass is .040" longer to the shoulder. That will get you part of the way there.
