[QUOTE="RJ338, post: 207077, member: 10046"] Tom, I use PTG floating pilot reamers and a muzzle flush system with a minereal spirits oil and auto tranny fluid as an additive as per Dave Kiff of PTG. The LW barrels cut like butter at 200-280 RPM with a floating reamer holder. There is no heat buildup and you can advance .100 to .125 per pass. Set up with a range rod, rough 2/3 deep with a drill, light boring cut to true at slight angle so that the shoulder of your reamer can enter the chamber and the pilot can enter the bore. I am using a Greymills 10 gal. cooling system w/1/6hp. pump, not even a high pressure system. If you plan to do any amount of work with these barrels this setup will save a lot of time, and you will appreciate these fine barrels much more. Enjoy, Randy [/QUOTE]
