So, i'd read a bunch online about the "11 degree forcing cone cut", so naturally when i ordered myself a super-blackhawk, it was one of the first things i had done (along with free spin, bisley hammer, locking basepin, wolf springs).
Recently i'm in contact with Gary Reeder, and he tells me there is no such thing as an 11 degree forcing cone cut, and i've been had.
So...what did I have done, and what ACTUALLY gets done?
Gary advertises a "maxi-throat" procedure. Do i want/need it?

Did you shoot it? That SBH might have shot just fine without all that work.
If you had a competent gunsmith recut your forcing cone I would bet they used Taylor Throating but why don't you ask them what they actually did? I'm really not trying to be sarcastic, I just think I'd have shot it first. Most Rugers don't need anything to shoot great.

I did not shoot it until after the work.
I took 2 44mag superblackhawks and 1 bearcat to the range.
all appeared to shoot about 12 inches high at 25 yards, so i'm thinking that is probably my fault.
as far as function, it works great. i really like the free spin.
im still hoping to have the following work done: deep dish crown, scallop recoil shield and loading gate, lanyard ring, gold bead front sight, checker ejector rod button, maxi-throat (if needed), open cylinder mouths (if needed)

Save your money. All kidding aside, what caliber are you shooting? I don't know why he would say such a thing. Are you sure you understood eachother correctly? An 11 degree forcing cone is a common one. It works especially well with non-jacketed bullets. Forcing cones can range anywhere from about 10 and 30 degrees. More important than the angle, though, is the entry diameter and chamber alignment. Hope this makes you feel better  : www.brownells.com/.aspx/pid=26151/Product/11_deg__CHAMFER_CUTTER |

No you do not need a Maxi-Throat and yes, if done be a competent 'smith with an 11 degree cutter, you have an 11 degree cut forcing cone. I wonder about Reeder some times...

Hell if I can just get my cylinder throats within .001 of each other, I think I'm in tall cotton |

I cut all the forcing cones on 10 revolvers . It has improved the accuratcy in all them weather I shoot jackets or lead   |

I should mention that i fired it standing, 2-hand hold. i assume it would be more accurate with a good rest.

Well, that should get the job done, patdaddy! Too bad, though, that you didn't shoot it before you had it worked on so you could see the difference.
