[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 1772097, member: 38048"] I'm a custom Smith of 30 yrs so I will give you my take on this. Got a break. Got ceracoat You can eliminate the ceracoat by looking in bore by the crown with light and magnifier. I have seen ceracoat and ceracoat in bores. Nobody I know would dial a barrel in for threading and not taking the 1 extra minute to touch the crown. This wouldn't raise pressure anyway. As far as getting setup for threading for the brake goes as long as the barrel will reach through the chuck there is no reason to take it off. Shorter barrels are much harder to do in the headstock so I take them off and do them in a custom figure. Basically a double spider setup. None of this would give more pressure. Now here is the only thing I think could. The barrel was removed and put back on with less headspace. This would be able to raise pressure. If the barrel was put on with more headspace it essentially would have more volume. When loads were put back in gun after all the work were they very hard to close the bolt on? Or maybe the loads were right on the edge of being hot and there is a temperature rise causing the excess. All I got for this. Shep [/QUOTE]
