Ron Power of Power Custom taught me to remove the ejector before chamfering and simply take the disassembled ejector and gently touch it to a belt sander to lightly break the edges. Chamfer chambers without ejector installed.
I had it done the same way for my own revolvers, chamfering the ejector star can contribute to brass cases slipping off the ejector before being kicked out and getting trapped under the star.

Yes i have used one very effectively. They make a squaring tool, barrel diameter pilots, and different degree crowning cutters. They are great for a diy barrel shortening
I'm no expert but I have been doing a lot of bear defense research lately. First, you won't likely have time to reload after unloading a full cylinder at a bear. Secondly, if you are using hardcast, heavy grain bullets, you will be building high pressures. One popular bear defense gun is the Glock 20, 10mm. Glocks are known for reliable feeding, due to their aggresive feed ramp. This aggressive feed ramp, sometimes leads to catostrophic barrel failure because the case isn't fully supported. Chamfering the cylinder, although not near as aggressive, is an unnecessary risk, in my opinion.
Hi there So this job on the cylinder is useful only for a better loading and unloading? And ... in this case you have created a Counterbored cylinder on your revolver, is it right?
Careful not to create space between the Shell casing and the cylinder chambers! The brass case itself is not strong enough to keep the casing from splitting when you fire the gun. I'm not a gun smith but I do have more years than most when it comes to owning guns.
All that is over kill. Start with a clean cylinder. Take a piece of 600 paper, swirl it around the chamber opening, including the extractor. All that needs to be done, is to remove any knife edge burs. Chamfering removes support material, for the cartridge case.
Just not true, no offense intended but if you are interested in fast reloads for competition you will chamfer, BIG BIG BIG difference between deburred and chamfered.
Yeah, I have a s&w pc627 and it needs chamfered badly. With 8 rounds in a moon clip it’s not very easy to load even slowly. It’s literally faster to load single shells than with a speed loader. Chamfering would make moon clips usable for me, it just need a very small bevel.

Maestro brindeme el nombre de la herramienta utilizada en la limpieza del cilindro en español gracias soy de Panamá 🇵🇦
I would highly recommend cutting fluid or oil of some kind. Especially for SS.
can you give a link for the tools for 357 and 45 colt, I cannot find any
Awesome video. Well done.
Excellent video. Thank you! 👍🏻

The cutter is a made to order and the wait time is two months!
excellent!
That came out very nice. Do people actually get a good muzzle crown with that tool?
I have no idea but these guys make a lot of the crowning tool cutters for the gun industry.

So what are the advantages of doing this to your modern day revolver?
Not much if you aren't doing tactical reloads.
would you recommend this for a revolver if you are using it for hunting or potential bear defense?

Hi there

Correct. It makes reloads much smoother.
But its not a counter bore. It's a chamfer, or you might have heard the term bevel.
Countersunk chamfer
Very cool

It’s chamfer, not shamfer
