The throater has started the rounds and the first few guys have been notified and told who to send it to next. I'm posting instructions here so I only have to do it once.
The job will go easier if you remove the extractor. Whether you do or don't, make up several dummy cartridges with the cast bullet you want to use. I made mine just long enough to jam in the existing throat hard enough not to eject. If you've pulled the ejector, you want them of a length so they wil fail to fully chamber by perhaps .050.
Oil the throater and put it into the chamber with the barrel clamped and pointing straight down. Clamp the tapwrench included to the reamer just above the breech. I used a nickle as a gauge. Turn until the wrench touches the breech. Pull the reamer, clean the chamber, and try a dummy. Cut and try very cautiously until the dummy will nearly chamber, perhaps .005 for you guys who have pulled the ejector and have the measuring equipment.
Those of you who left the ejector in will have to assemble the gun a few times. My ejectors ride a little ligher than the chamber cut. The goal is to throat just deep enough so a chambered cartridge reliably ejects, but the bullet lightly engraves. I had you make up several because you only want to chamber one fully a time or two.
If anyone has a better method, speak up. I know this one is pretty jackleg, but I was trying to keep it workable for guys with minimal equipment and experience.
