After reading the posts about dialing in the bore of a barrel for crowning or chambering, I would like to make my own indicator rods or range rods.
Fist of all, what should they be made of? Brass?
I have seen them advertized, made with a 1.5 degree taper. How long of a taper would this be? Would this be straight section and then the taper?
Or is a close fitting straight one better? How close of a fit will they have to be? If very close fit is required, I could see one needing a variety for each bore size.
I have just joined this group and my lathe experience is limited to high school 35 years ago. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Hart.
