so sad , yes your metal barrel is dying it may have been a great barrel in it's time , a time that's long past . it gave it's all for what it was made for it ran through think and thin , rainy days and Monday's through ups and downs it did it's all for you and your gun to work properly now it's earned it's rest and it is time for you to get a new younger barrel and abuse it till you kill it .
Amid the grief of losing a loved one, it can be difficult to articulate the impact that person had on your life and the lives of others. Delivered during the memorial or funeral service, a eulogy is a speech that’s written by a person who was close to the departed friend and barrel . lol hope you feel better cause buying a new one might cost you an arm and leg or maybe it's just mine 10 month wait and 1k cost . ahmen
 
Looks like you are a bit enthusiastic with the deburr tool. Might want to chamfer and debur slightly less.

With the deburr tool you just need to remove the burr; no need to cut into the neck. And the chamfer tool just take the 90 deg angle off. The amount cut with the chamfer tool shouldn't be more than 50% of the neck thickness.

That’s not how a 3in1 works.

I am using a Henderson trimmer he sets the trimmer head before sending it.
However it may need to be adjusted a little.

True, but the 3-way that I have cuts a 90 deg angle at 60 deg offset of the case mouth and the outside cutter is adjusted to remove minimal material from the outer edge.

The OP on the other hand seems to be using a Lyman VLD type chamfer tool and probably the Lyman deburr tool on the other end. Overusing both at the same time leaves a very thin, sharp edge that is deformed very easily. No need to ask me how I know.

Judging by the large shiny area on the outside of the neck and the thin edge of the case mouth it seems very likely.

Edit: Looks like I typed too slow. I have no idea what a henderson trimmer looks like, but it does seem to need some adjustments.

He’s told you twice now exactly what he’s trimming with, no need to make incorrect speculations.
And I won’t bother asking since you clearly don’t.
 
Since I clearly don't read very well (my apologies) I had a look around at what the henderson trimmer looks like and how it works. Quite a nifty little machine.

And it appears my original surmise is correct. Too much chamfer and deburr.

The deburr blade set too close to the pilot and the chamfer blade set too far from the pilot.

Think we solved it Todd Henderson called me said it was definitely to much chamfer on OD he is sending out a new cutting head with it adjusted for the thicker Norma brass.
