[QUOTE="Edd, post: 582303, member: 30592"] I don't know about smoothing the bore with a couple dozen copper bullets, that seems like wishful thinking to me. Now the sharp edges and some burrs from the chamber reamer makes sense. I suspect those are mostly removed by the heat, like a thermal deburring process, not the bullet. Looks to me like freshly cut throats would be a perfect application for abrasive flow machining. Anyone ever tried that? Then you could send them straight to nitriding. [/QUOTE]
