"But if I ever see a guy shorten a barrel with a hacksaw, knock off the sharp edges with a file and crown it with an RCBS case mouth chamfering tool,.."
Guilty. I really didn't think anyone saw me do it.
I did it one time though, exactly as described right down to the RCBS chamfering tool. I did file the end as square as eyeball measurement would allow. It was an old, much neglected, 742 Jam-a-matic so there was nothing to lose. It accounted for several deer before giving up the ghost.
According to Larry Potterfield, CEO & Founder of MidwayUSA
With the possible exception of the RCBS Chamfering Tool, that is the correct way to do the job using hand tools:

If you wonder how I know about this video, let's just say I still have mine.
My RCBS Chamfering Tool, that is.

I fought the 740 and 742 at different times... the bugs were pretty well worked out in the 7400. We had one around here for years and it ate hat-fulls of my 'o6 reloads with nary a complaint.
