[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 2681310, member: 38048"] When I went to gunsmith school over 30 yrs ago we were taught to put a small 45 degree angle at the rifling. A slight chamfer on the edge is more durable than the 90 degree cut. Plus the 90 degree is sharp and can shave the coating off your cleaning rods. The Alamo crown looks like a nice crown to me. Perfect for a hunting rifle. I would still prefer the chamfer on the bore. And if there is a slight burr there I dont see it in my pic and it would be gone after one shot. You should see the burrs on the throat of a fresh chamber job. They look scary but are gone in 5 to 10 shots. Shep [/QUOTE]
