I didn’t think that was happening either, I’ve seen it in barrels getting rechambered. Just was wondering if you’ve seen weirdness related to bushing rotation. I’d rather a bushing not rotate. With a weight-biased rod you get a better transfer off bottom, if that makes sense. If a bushing was...

Al, I greatly appreciate your videos and the time it takes to do it. On your Gordy sequence you have some out-of-round stuff with the fireform barrel. Can you talk about the weirdness one gets when the bushing spins, then catches, then spins..... I’ve done experiments with spinning bushings and...

For what it’s worth... I had to rebarrel a 700, when I finally got the barrel off I discovered probably the worst threading job I’ve ever seen. Very very loose and rough. Whoever did it RocSetted (verb) on there, probably figuring it would never be seen. I later asked how that barrel shot, he...

What cutter tip are you using in the bellco? Looks good.

Makes sense.. although the size of my lathe makes me think the flex could be pretty minimal. I read a lot and rarely post anything. What do you think about the method of using a center for half the chamber and a flat pusher to finish? I haven't tried it. But I might try pushing with the flat...

Thanks for the reply Al. Always good info. I may have used the wrong words, by consistency I only meant the amount the base of the case is reduced in size by the die, not anything to do with producing straight or consistent brass. I was more thinking about the dead center producing a larger, but...

Does it matter? I've been thinking about the whole reamer pushing thing a bit. Assuming the chamber remains concentric with the bore and the throat is lined up, does it matter if the back end of the chamber ends up oversized? Might it be preferred? I've read AlinWa's methods and it makes a...

Guess I killed the thread...

Why not use the flat side of the tool holder as a pusher? You could use an end mill to square it but prob not necessary. Run it up to the flat face of the chuck or cathead, square it up and tighten. Then push with the carriage and whatever ball or reamer holder desired. Even the back of the reamer.

Thinking about building one to shoot the 147ELD, was going to order zero throat and a separate throating reamer but rather not. I wonder what the oal would look like with that bullet and .060 fb. I don't have any in hand yet.

What freebore did you spec?
