It was cheap enough to be worth a shot. It beats having to cut away all that steel to get down to the profile I want. It'll just be 5 or 6 taper cuts now.

The chamber is a bummer though. Is there enough meat on the flange to cut back, so you can deepen the chamber?
I won't bother. It may well be within tolerances, especially for military use. Clymer reamers are typically .002" over SAAMI case dimensions. That's way under specs for military. I don't really have any way to measure this chamber directly. No matter. I won't be shooting hot loads.
