I am sure that some one besides me has encountered the small burrs present on the down wind side of the lands after reaming a chamber.
Usually, it means that the reamer is getting dull and tend to smear a burr on the land in the throat but I have encountered this with new reamers and different brand barrels (maybe different heat treat or composition of the steel).
Any how this is not usually a problem with center fire with jacketed bullets as the burr will shoot away after a few shots.
But with rim fire with soft lead bullets those pesky burrs take a long time, if ever, to go away with rim fire bullets.
I have tried JB compound on a nylon brush pushed in and out and that only seems to polish the burr.
By the way, the burrs don't seem to affect accuracy but I am sure they don't help!
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
