Hey All My wife got me a Joe Woods barrel coning tool. Cant wait to get it in the mail so I can do All My rifles. Good bye to my short starter

In the meantime , read up on coning.

Yep! Watch some videos on it too, Duelist1954 has some I think. I did my .36 and some of my .50s and have been pretty happy with the results. Take your time and be sure to swab the bore and clean the tool every time you switch the sandpaper. I had best luck backing the sandpaper with double sided carpet tape and then cutting it out using the supplies piece of sandpaper as a pattern.

In the meantime , read up on coning.

Especially the pages of instructions the maker sent with his tool.

Congrats!
