So I'm picking up a new barrel today and plan on installing it on an existing action I have. My question is more so about the existing barrel I have. I have a number of rounds made that have been tuned for my current barrel. I'm wondering if I remove it, will my current loaded rounds need to be adjusted at all when I go to re install that barrel someday? Will my jump to the lands change on re installation? Sorry if these are dumb questions, I'm new to barrel swaps. Thanks
 
should be within a thousandth of an inch depending on how tight you turn it on, and if it is really tight against the shoulder if it is a shouldered barrel like a bench rest barrel installation fit
 
It might be an idea to apply witness marks to insure that the barrel is turned in to the same position when reinstalled.

Thanks. That is a solid plan. After thinking about it more I'm going to grab a savage rifle on the EE, part it out and use that action for now until I can get my hands on a bighorn origin.
