[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1688681, member: 2736"] I am one of those that Believe in letting the reamer cut the chamber, set the throat, lead, freebore and even place the proper finish on everything. If everything is done right, (A dull reamer or on with an improper fitting pilot is not consistent with quality) Nothing in the chamber needs to be touched by anything except a Bullet. Don't polish, de burr, shoot abrasive bullets or mes with the throat unless you want to reduce barrel life and accuracy potential. Throating can be used by an expert without damage but it is best done with the chamber reamer with the right/desired throat dimensions to prevent any slight misalignment. If the throat needed to be lapped, the smith should have just chased the chamber enough to clean it up before he set the head space. Not trying to second guess the smith But something sounds wrong with lapping a throat to me. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
