A lesson in patience (and paying attention)

most likely either the chamber itself guided it, or it just rode the bore.

Ya the shoulder probably centered it.

Where you getting the new barrel from, or you sending it out this time.

How did the reamer stay centered on the larger bore?

Ya the shoulder probably centered it.

And after a close inspection, it didnt stay quite centered.
Im pretty sure troys right, the chamber walls and shoulder kept it mostly straight....straight enough I cant see it on the brass, but with the barrel removed some of the factory bluing is still visible on one side of the chamber, and the other is bare.
