The only thing I would add to the article is that recutting the forcing cone to 11 degrees can make a big change (along with the firelapping) plus it might help to use a cut-down empty case, drilled to match the rod diameter, as a guide when honing the chamber throats.

I have seen the article before. The only heartburn I have is the sander for chamber throats. The throats can be oval, S shaped, tapered, all kinds of different shapes. A good reamer, recutting the tight, colorfully shaped throats to a good .4525" straight cut, is IMO, far better than the method shown in the article.

Recutting the forcing cone is usually required as well. I have seen them cut off center, rough, etc. Recutting to a concentric 11 degrees can be a big help.
