[QUOTE="jrock, post: 1618354, member: 78569"] If its absolutely your first chambering attempt on anything, I would advise wrapping that Shillen barrel up and putting it on the shelf. Buy a cheap blank from Green Mountain and try all the different techniques you can find in books and online. It was well worth it to try the methods and tooling setups to see which one worked the best for my setup. A reamer will last lots of barrels so don't worry about wearing it out. Doing this can also can tell you a lot about how rigid your setup is and if there are any bending forces in the barrel. Practice makes perfect so I wouldn't expect perfection on the very first time.
