texasgrunt, the completely correct way is to buy a barrel clamp that goes around the barrel to protect it and then gets clamped in a bench vise.
I don't remember where I got mine but I'm sure several companies( midwayusa.com, etc.) carry them.
I've also heard people talk about using other things( pieces of wood, pieces of starboard,etc.) to use between the bench vise and the barrel and they may work okay if you are careful.
I just never wanted to try it with a $500.00- $600.00 dollar barrel.
