[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 874183, member: 5219"] 338 RCM reamer can be purchased from Pacific Tool and Gauge where I got mine. It uses the exact dimensions that Ruger and Hornady specified. I know because I talked to the now retired Lonny at Hornady and we compared our specification sheets. I got the reamer before I made the long throated version and made a 7 lb sporter on an old M77 tang safety. Dan Pederson used a 338 throating reamer to lengthen the throat. You could make a dummy round and send it to Dave Kiff at PT&G for a long throated reamer. Cost is around $140. As for dies. Redding and Hornady makes them. I had issues with both dies not sizing the area near the web. Redding's was worse. That is how I got to talk to Lonnie. I finally sent in some fired rounds and had Whidden make me a custom S bushing/FL die that works better than the other productions dies. Can't remember the cost..... [/QUOTE]
