[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 627095, member: 24624"] I've never attempted what you're about to do. But, here are some things to consider. Once you take metal off, you can't put it back. Triple check all of your measurements to be sure they're accurate and repeatable. The lead angle on the PTG throater may well be different from your factory chamber. So, go about half or less. Then, clean everything and measure again using your bullet. Then, cut a little and measure again. You basically want to sneak up on the final depth and use lots of cutting fluid. If you get greedy, you may be in trouble. Hopefully, it will shoot these bullets to your liking once you're done. Otherwise, you may need a new barrel. Because it may well not like any bullets at that point. -- richard [/QUOTE]
