First question- - - -are you using a rigid hone or a spring-loaded glaze breaker? The 280 grit stones in the glaze breaker will not remove a noticeable amount of metal. All the fine grit stones do is create a slight amount of roughness to assist in ring seating. A rigid hone is used after a rebore job to remove 2-3 thousandths of metal and eliminate the spiral grooves left by the boring cutter.

Put an old compression ring into the cylinder at the very top of the ring travel, up against the ridge, and measure the gap with some stacked-up feeler gauge blades. Then use a piston to push the ring down to the bottom of the cylinder and measure the gap again. Subtract the bottom gap from the top number and divide the difference by 3. The result will be the cylinder taper in thousandths of an inch. If it's more than 5, rebore the block.
