Agree. I like to use the JB, sparingly, in the throat while I'm still set up in the lathe after the chamber is cut. Sort of a "pre-break in". I use a patch wrapped bore brush on a rod that I reference off the reamer to get me to the lands. Not sure about the wisdom of that but I do it anyway and I like the results.
