Predrilled the chamber to the base to shoulder dimension of the cartridge. Didn't allow for the case head being clear of the barrel for the bolt c'bore, making it 1/8" too deep. Fortunately, I rough the shank and chamber a little deep before threading and finishing the shank to headspace dimension. That saved me the trouble of picking up the thread and extending it, or cutting a relief groove. Cost me an 1/8" of barrel length, but I think I can live with that.
Picked up this method years ago from the writings of Jackie Schmidt. His reason made sense, being able to inspect the chamber before doing the easy stuff.
