Chambering a rifle barrel step by step (first chamber Ive done on my new PM1236)

I am cutting a 6ppc chamber on a 19in. set back barrel. I am doing the work between centers as the barrel is too short to reach my spider. I am doing all the work with the finish reamer because Im not set up to step bore yet.

Jonathan,

You have your fingers dangerously close to the cutting edges on the reamer. I chamber similar to the way you do, but I am sure to have my fingers on the tap handle, not the shank of the reamer. When a tool grabs, it grabs like right now... Reamers are sharp and fingers are soft tissue. Best of luck

@pbike257 Thanks for the advice. I plan on tapping and putting another handle on the holder so I can hold back evenly on handle without being close to the reamer

you can damage the rifling when you blow the chips through the barrel.
