If i wanna melt the pin down without added filler, how far should it be proud?
Having toolmaker do it for me; another toolmaker turned gunsmith said .010", but i have not seen his work... hoping for a pretty lil dollop on top.
316?

Ive heard to go until the major diameter of the drill penetrates the root, which i guess is about .050' but the gunsmith goes about .100" (.040" up from gage pin in bore.

ETA ill just have him mill it, maybe go 1/16" that should be give me .040 of engagement.
