[QUOTE="MagMan, post: 281051, member: 966"] As an update tonight I got to honing with a piece of 1/8" drill rod, a few pieces of 200 & 320 grit emery cloth and some reinforced packing tape all chucked up in a cordless drill. It took about a half an hour and I managed to hone close to .0035". After running the 320 the neck looked as smooth as it did before I started. All was done in the kitchen sink with plenty of water. Total indicated run out on every case was no more than .0005 so to say I'm happy is an understatement. I did check it like 10 times (trial and error) because I was afraid to go to far. If anyone else has the ambition to try this just remember to take your time and those dies are a hell of a lot harder than they look. Thanks to all. [/QUOTE]
