A friend and I were chambering a 338 edge in a 30" Brux barrel a couple days ago. The first inch was fine, but after that, it would go about .010-.050 and start to bind.
Here are the facts:
1. Reamer has been used before and sent back to factory twice, both times saying nothing was wrong with it
2. Good reamer oil was used and a lot was used
3. Barrel in a 4 jaw and reamer had a pilot. Reamer was pushed in by, not locked in to the machine.
4. Took off pilot to see if any change and didn't help
5. Don't remember speed of lathe.
Any ideas??
