Forcing Cone

I don't recall the year, but I picked up a Taylor Throating Reamer from Bronells and brought it back down here. The PPPPPP was slightly out of time, locking up just a bit out of whack. It leaded something fierce on the left side of the forcing cone where the bullets would shave off as they left the cylinder and entered the barrel. After carefully reaming the throad/forcing cone, it not only looked good, it no longer leaded and was easier to clean. As they say, one's mileage may vary. Another factor is, doing such a job gives one a sense of satisfaction.
