all done where the throat is dialed in.
piloted reamers for the masses...NOT FOR PRECISION WORK.
its been probably 15 years or more since i used a pilot to cut a chamber.
this is a savage forum, so yes it probably works at this level.

Sure thing, boss.
I'm in absolute awe of your expertise.
Now, you can go brag to someone who gives a sh**.

I pre-bore, and use a flush system.
I still prefer a snug-fitting pilot to eliminate chatter.
Despite your opinion, MOST professionals still use piloted reamers unless they're chambering with a specific CNC setup.

I mean, jeez...
What HACKS they are at McMillan Rifles... I'm sure you've got it all over those guys, they have no clue what they're doing.
Can you BELIEVE they're chambering barrels between centers, with a PILOTED reamer- you'd better call 'em up and tell them the RIGHT way to do it!
