[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 2098922, member: 4191"] Glad you've had a successful track record with those reamers. Chad Dixon with LongRifles, Inc used to almost solely use PT&G reamers for all his chambering work. He cuts a LOT of chambers in his shop. He eventually got Kiffed, no longer purchases reamers from PT&G. If you wanna research the Sniper's Hide forum, you'll be able to find his own comments in his posts. They aren't near as tempered as mine are here. I purchased one PT&G chamber reamer for a wildcatted 338 cartridge from PT&G. It only cut on two of the cutting edges brand new. My gunsmith was barely able to cut a chamber with it, even though he had a pressurized cutting oil system running during the chamber cutting process. He wanted to send it off to Dave Manson for resharpening before using it, even though it was brand new, after he realized it was a PT&G reamer! Shoulda let him cuz it turns out he was right about that. I promptly sent that reamer off to Dave Manson to get it sharpened before any consideration of using it a second time. After Manson sharpened it, the next gunsmith that used the reamer report no issues whatsoever cutting my chamber. So we takes our chances, and we lives with the consquences. [/QUOTE]
