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.

This is what I used, and is pretty inexpensive. It is meant for plumbing work, but worked great to ream out the Dillon powder funnels to avoid bridging, especially with smaller calibers. It makes a more tapered "funnel". I have done all my rifle calibers, and have had the reamer for 20+ years. If you chuck the reamer up in drill press or mill at low speed, it takes all of 5 minutes to do. I leave about 3/8-1/2" at the bottom of funnel at the original diameter. Use lots of oil.

I'm going to order one of the reamers like you noted above, it will move the taper even lower into the funnel. I did find some on EBay also.

I chose 18.0g @ 3400 as my limit however because that is the maximum load speed I have seen for a pressure tested load in Accurate's loading manual. It also happened to be the optimum OCW load. Primers are CCI 400's.

jeff for the life of me I can't see how this thread drifted so far away from your original post.
here ie loading data for a layman book. 10.75" barrel 40 gr jsp h110 8.5-14.0 2545 fps max imr 4227 13.0-16.5 2722 fps max imr4198 15.0-18.0 2541 fps max rx7 15.0-18.0 2287 fps 45 gr jsp 2400 12.5-14.7 26.11 fps imr4227 13.0-16.0 2641 fps ww680 15.3-18.8 2808 max imr4198 16.0-18.0 2549 max rx7 15.0-17.0 2111 max no 50 gr loads but you can use the 52 gr load data for 50's 52 gr jhp imr4227 12.0-15.5 max 2516 max ww680 14.0-17.0 2589 max imr4198 16.0-17.8 2497 max rx714.5-16.5 2096 max if you go to Hodgeon's website there are no cfe-blk loads under pistols but they are listed under rifle. if you must try the powder that might be a staring point. http://www.hodgdonreloading.com/data/rifle

As an update I've been up to 18.5 grains of CFE-B in the FB without excessive pressure using 40 vmax. The best accuracy was at 18.0 so that looks like it will be my load. In the 20 VT I'm now up to 19.8 grains of CFE-B under the 32 vmax and only slightly flattened primers. I'm going to stop here and experiment with the over all length with the 32 vmax. The rifle and pistol both clean up easily with Bore-tech Carbon Out and patches.

My XP100 likes about 18gr of 1680 with CCI450 primers with 40gr bullets. Your powder is the same speed and I don't know what primers you use, but the 450'shave a much thicker cup than the 400's have. I haven't had any pierced primers or sticky bolt lift so I think I could go a little hotter than that.
