Yes Tinman I was referring to the powder funnel...... didn't have the nomenclature quite right.
I looked at my tapered reamers and none will clean up all rough areas without getting too big at the top of the funnel. Its about a 1.250 long cut. However I do like your idea and will extend the taper as far as possible with what I have. The hole is now .195 so I should be able to polish out the remaining rough areas with silicone carbide.
