I have cut a lot of chambers but am always on pins and needles when I do a bottleneck case. Even a big one and pre drilling. I am partial to straight wall cartridges. I built a flood coolant system for chambering but it made such a mess I went back to oil and clean as you go.
My approach varies according to the cartridge, and the type of rifle, of course. The old adage "measure twice" certainly applies. My methods have evolved over the years as well. Going forward, I may change more. Who knows? I have a 45/70 coming up, so that's different. WH
Great camera shots and another great video. Lots of good info.
Glad you enjoyed it.
