    I used Din's 30-40 chamber reamer for my build.
    It was a very well used chamber reamer and had obviously cut a lot of chambers and been sharpened a few times because it cut a way under sized outer shoulder and neck.
    And it was not a great looking chamber straight off the tool.
    But a number of hours honing and polishing the chamber to fit fired brass from my other 30-40 sized through my dies and I have a very nice chamber sized exactly to my dies.

    So my precious genuine head stamped 30-40 brass will only be lightly worked during re sizing
    And this is maybe contributing to the accuracy.
    But I will give most of the credit to the Vulcan barrel
