[QUOTE="Hired Gun, post: 859182, member: 1290"] Just like these two video's, I dial in the bore of the end I am working on. If its the chamber end I dial the throat and then 2" farther in. Once dialed in the other end is frequently running out .005" to .040" and as much as .080". Very rarely do we see one running less than .010". I run an indicator on it to find where the barrel points up. I never point them down. If we overclock we take it around another turn to get it to point up. I then split the difference to orientate the flutes properly. This may have the curve pointing just slightly left or right but not by much. If I were to ignore the flutes it would make for a very bad appearance and will not ever orientate the flutes with a flute at the stock line. It looks terrible. You can have good looks and shoot.
