[QUOTE="jarnold37, post: 2074606, member: 29241"] Not sure if this is the problem, but could be the problem is the lathe that was used to do the chamber. Even though barrel may be indicated in to a tenth or two, the tailstock can be way off. I purchased a new high quality lathe and its tailstock center was two and 7 tenth thousands high. This would produce a chamber that was approximately 7 thousands fat, or big at the mouth or back of the chamber, even though the throat indicated in at zero, and reamer held in front by the bushing on the reamer. The tailstock is the enemy in this case. I had my tailstock surface ground but still have concerns. Maybe a floating reamer holder? [/QUOTE]
