Re-crown on a lathe

Hi, Anyone out there doing their own crowns on a lathe. Any tips? I plan on centering in a four jaw with a brass pilot and indicate off this to centre to bore and then crown from the bore out.

Re: Beginner Q's regarding reloading

Yeah I rate the winchester 308 brass as well. Use it for F-Class and it has been quite good so far.. I have spent a lot of time batching, cleaning and uniforming pockets and flash holes.. but I stopped uniforming flash holes as I have found it has made no difference.. interesting the DYER HBC is use...
