It would probably be easier to get a nose sizer from NOE and simply size the nose down to the proper size rather than remove steel from your barrel.

I cast, powder coated, sized and loaded up 30 of theNOE 311-198's today. Using straight wheel weights they weighed in at 208gr.
10 grains of RL-7 pushed them ~950fps and cycled perfectly unsuppressed and suppressed out of an 8" Ballistic Advantage barrel. Over all I'm VERY happy with how everything worked out.
I would usually agree with you, but I have tried 2 different RCBS molds, 2 different NOE molds and a lee mold. Only one short enough to chamber was the NOE 155 HP and it was so short it wouldn't feed. Even had problems loading Jacket bullets over 150 grains. Not a expensive barrel so kinda suspect of quality of chamber and throat. Arsenal 170's are even seated deeper than I would like. Seating them out a bit more would fill the magazine better and insure proper feeding.
I'll have to look but I'm pretty sure its a no name knockoff
Ran into some feeding issues which was solved by seating the bullets a little deeper. With the same 10.5 grains of RL-7 I'm now averaging 1040 FPS.
Got them coated and sized last night.
