I've been researching before I chamber my first barrel and I have a question about Pre-boring and using a piloted reamer. When people say they prebore or step bore to .010 less than shoulder diameter, I'm assuming when they start reaming, the pilot won't reach the bore. Does it correct any minor deviation once it gets deep enough to start in the bore, or is the theory that the pre-bore quides it in perfectly straight? I don't have a rougher, so I was thinking about Pre-boring only .300 deep at a time, so my pilot was always engaged. My other option is to cut the entire chamber with the finisher.
