[QUOTE="VinceMule, post: 2687780, member: 122164"] In Private, you can run them into the ground for the rest of your life, not in public! Read my post again on recommendations, and Teslong is your best friend. You can get the model that plugs into a device for cheap and the hand held model is around $149 less military discount. I shoot a lot! Lesson #2 is on gunsmiths: A. bore scope prior to chambering B. use a set of reamer pilots so that they can fit the proper size reamer pilot for that particular barrel dia, which is another hard lesson learned: 1. slightly undersize barrel, with a std size pilot, will gouge the lands 2. undersize pilot for the barrel will cause the reamer to flop while cutting the chamber, [B][COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]a mirage of problems[/COLOR][/B]. C. choose a gunsmith that will inspect the barrel before he takes the barrel out of the lathe. 1. you want to see no reamer chatter in the throat and leade angle 2. inspection on the chamber to see if a reamer flute has picked up a chip, causing a ring in the chamber 3. inspect to see if the chamber has cut rough with lines all in the body of the chamber, in case the reamer has dulled or the gunsmith took too deep a cut on one pass Looking for a cheap gunsmith is NOT smart. A True Craftsman takes pride in his work, and relishes his customer's loyalty! I learned all of this from decades of having barrels installed, and my friend's problems also. I had issues with all the above, but hard lessons were learned with a price tag. Joe Wagner, a German Gunsmith in Los Angles taught me most of this.. [/QUOTE]
