[QUOTE="ken snyder, post: 533288, member: 26019"] The fire formed brass is telling the truth about the chamber shape and dimensions. It could have happened during your polishing treatment but I dont think so. It is suspicously starting to look like the O.P. used a hand drill motor to rechamber your rifle. The chamber is definately running at an angle to the bore. This also happens fairly often on new factory barrels, as well as off centering. I dont know which came first the chicken or the egg? At this point I would have to say you've exhausted remedy! Throw that barrel in a recycling bin as well as all the brass that was formed in it. I am seriously concerned that the over all uneveness of the cartridges ability to seal off the gases as evident by the powder residue indicates that catastrophic failure is in that barrels near future. I don't know how many people have had the experience of escaping gases being shot into their faces, but I have and I feel I was very lucky to have only ruined a cheap pair of safety glasses. [/QUOTE]
