[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 1369409, member: 13632"] My dial in process goes like this, load up the barrel center the outboard spider by eye, put the tailstock with a live center up to hold the barrel and I bring my 4 jaw up to holding the barrel. I dial in the OD of the shank in just a couple passes then use a DeWalt cordless band saw and cut the shank to length, face it and chamfer the bore. Range rod goes in and I dial in the bore, this takes a couple minutes with a quality barrel. Depending on the chambering I'll go in with an indicator and dial in direct both the throat and the back of the chamber, if the throat is beyond the reach of my indicator I'll go in with the Grizzly rod and dial in with that and check the back of the chamber with the indicator. Run the lathe and let it warm up and do a little tune up then rally, I verify dial in before each op. [/QUOTE]
