Thats how I do mine Paul! I do turn mine before through drilling but I have no problem! And you can't through drill metal lipped swimmers before you turn them as was stated earlier! I used to thru-drill my stock before I truned but I do it after now.......no issues and it just plain works!
Also as was stated I drill my belly holes and then thru drill to meet the belly holes....much better!
