[QUOTE="MW204, post: 2552321, member: 118876"] I've had good luck with a chamber hone, but you have to be easy with it or it'll enlarge your chamber. If you get a chamber hone also get the required oil, have a few rounds loaded up (new or no marks on the cases), and hone the chamber. Clean the chamber/bore and shoot a bullet and compare it to a case you've already shot. If the marks clean up nicely you're finished, if it likes a few more places then repeat, just don't polish too much so the brass has something to hold onto when fired. A highly polished chamber will cause excessive backward thrust because the brass has nothing to grip when fired and it will hammer the bolt. I normally use 10 quick short strokes in and out per session and stop when the brass comes out looking like I want it to. That's my 2 cents for what it's worth, but seriously don't spin and spin with the drill & chamber hone or you'll have an oversized chamber and most likely it'll be polished too much. I use the 400 grit chamber hone. btw, you may be a little hot with that barrel, chamber, etc, back off some. [/QUOTE]
