    B chamber is slightly smaller than the original chamber.  

    You can shoot the new brass in either chamber, but you will get some case expansion in the original chamber.  

    I don't think the original brass can be shot in a B chamber.  And I definitely would not shoot fired brass from the original chamber in a new B chamber.  

    I think most gunsmiths that had an original reamer sent them in for a regrind to the B chamber specs.  I would think the only way to get an original reamer is if it is owned by an individual.  Even then, Inwould be reluctant to use it, as the new brass is undersized to fit the B Chamber now.

    I wouldn't let Sportsman's, Cabelas, or Bass Pro even put a scope in a plastic bag for me.  I can't tell you how many times I have seen their "mounting and bore sighted" crooked and either loose or way overtightened scopes that buddies get done there.

    As for buying your own tools, to do it right, it is going to cost you more than having someone competent do it once for you.  If you plan to do it more than once or twice, then it starts to work out in costs.

    What part of the Valley are you in?

    My son picked-up a 2008 Tundra 2 years ago from a guy on this site (Sorry to seller....  Don't remember your handle but was a pleasure dealing with you. lol).   My son is now looking for something a bit more economical, as he has since partnered up with my ex doing outside sales for her company.  He'll be driving around AZ, NM, and southern NV, so he just wants/needs better gas mileage.

    It's a great pickup with approx. 136K miles.  Not one of the newer models, but a creampuff for it's age, IMO.

    He will be listing it in the next couple of weeks, likely at about 1/2 of what your son's prescribed budget.

    Stanley is a good guy.  If he says the truck is good, it is good.

    Lots of water.  Every tank I checked held water.  Good for the game, but keeps them spread out since they don't have to concentrate around a few wet tanks.

    I was surprised at how dry it was though.  Not nearly as green as I expected.  It was still chilly 2 weeks ago,and of course winds were whipping all day.  Mirage was terrible.  But I saw a lot of pronghorn, just spread out.
