I'd never thought about what the amount of metal would look like when shaving down a choke as you describe. I also did not expect the metal to curl off like you show in the photo. Very intriguing. Thanks for sharing this. It's posts like this that help make the forum interesting and varied.

I got that much lead out of the full chokes of my 28 gauge VHE when I first got it. Had been fired it’s whole life with early shells with no shot collars. I was shocked!

Bob, the reamers are sharp and the pressure from pushing them forward along with the lubricant makes for curly cuttings. As compared with an expandable reamer that only cuts a thou or two for each adjustment, and with little pressure to do the cutting. As you know, using an expandable reamer from the muzzle end is fraught with the possibility of tipping it and cutting the choke at a tangent which will make for off shooting on that barrel.
