Its pretty good

So this is pretty good . My only issue is the bushings are held in place with tiny snap rings than arent the easiest to remove to switch bushings , and you need to remove the bushing after every chamber to properly clean it . Im going to make a tool for this so I can put the cutter in a bag to change the bushing so I dont loose any.
