best way to do a crown ??
« on: September 07, 2012, 03:19:13 PM »
I tossed the idea of cutting down a barrel on my .243, all week been dig'n around for some food for thought on how to recrown it, will a hand tool produce the same results as turning it in a lathe ??

If you go  to the H&R centerfire forum, and look in the FAQ's there is a video available on crowning.

I've watched plenty of videos & understand how its done, what I want to know is weather turning the barrel on a lathe produce a better functioning crown than one done by hand ?

I really would like to say yes but I've no real knowledge.. I usually just use the handtools rather than set it up in the lathe.. May just be lazy..but thet produce excellant results..
