I have noticed a lot of discussion about barrel crowning lately.

This is how my family has done it forever.

Big Ern, Brownell's makes that or one like it. You might check online at Midway USA, or just go to the Brownell's site.

Brownell's, then I made pilots for different calibre guns.
I have an 11 degree model.

Right on. 11° is where the accuracy's at.
