I actually like to use valve grinning paste on a round headed brass bolt to do my crowns.
I've cut a few barrels down and done this to good effect, with the bolt in a cordless drill.
Not a lot of pressure is needed to remove rough edges and it celf centres itself.
A brass bolt will not give the entrance into the bore, the gentle angle and polish that is needed to seat a patched ball into the muzzle.
If you were shooting a slug like the .58 Lee R.E.A.L. bullet, the bolt-lapped crown would work just fine, but not for seating a snug ball
and patch.
