[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 911637, member: 2011"] Thanks for the support guys. Visited with my machinist buddy this afternoon. He gave me some pointers and and a decent carbide bit. It cuts like butter. I think it'll take things up a notch. Have to rework the chuck jaws as the brass rod can stick out of the chuck so far before it becomes too flexible. The steady rest was a waste of money. A steady rest with bearings straight across from the cutting tip is necessary but difficult to come by. Will do some shooting tomorrow. Then some point making and bullet prep and see if we can get consistency enough to get out towards 1k. When that is accomplished we'll do some drop and terminal performance comparisons with the unmodified SMKs. [/QUOTE]
