Was all set to buy some used BR barrels to play with on my lathe when I had a DUH moment. The seller said that the barrels are around 21 inches long. When I measure from the left end of the spindle to just outside the chuck jaws on my lathe the length is 21 inches. So how do we chamber through the headstock when the barrels are this short? I don't think my lathe is unusual in this respect or is it? I must be missing something basic here. Butch, Jerry, Jackie help!
I just went out to my reloading shed and measured the extra barrel that came with the used gun I bought and it is 21 7/8 inches from the muzzle to the end of the tenon. No way I can do anything with that through the headstock.
