[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 1080228, member: 25383"] taking a page from Bill Calfee's writings, Leave the last two or three inches untouched. Reason being is that when you remove metal at the muzzle, you release compressive stress and all the barrel to actually grow a few tenths. You always want the last three inches of the bore to be tighter than the other part. Bill ought to know as his rifles have won more bench rest shoots (most all rimfires) that anybody else. I'm in the camp that says to never touch the O.D. once the bore is cut. gary [/QUOTE]
