I have read of a few guys that indicate, thread and then indicate again before running in the reamer. I have always indicated once in a 4 jaw then threaded and ran the reamer. Has anyone had a barrel move on them between those steps?

Whats so Funny???
I’m curious too. I’ve heard of guys indicating multiple times, but can’t imagine the barrel moving once toques down in the 4 jaw. I use aluminum wire between the jaws and barrel.
If you don't have confidence in your setup you need a different setup.
I rough indicate the barrel, rough out the threads to within about .010 inch. I then indicate the barrel and establish the best chamber I can. Then I finish the tenon, set the headspace, cone, etc.
I then go back and check things.
I have never had a barrel move after dialing in. Every chamber gets checked and the Interapid will let me know how it turned out. If it moves, there is a problem. It's all in the setup and the guy cranking the handles...
Dave, I guess old M rap showed you. I guess when you have chambered as many barrels as he has you will understand.
