Yesterday, I found a really, really good deal on a Remington 788 in 243 Win. Now, I have no use for a rifle in 243 Win, but have always been fascinated with the 6mm Ackley. So, I was wondering, can I use a 6mm AI finishing reamer to "clean up" a 243 Win chamber for a quick conversion?

Looking at the chamber drawings, it appears so, but I would like to hear from someone who has actually tried it.

Thanks.
