[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 281430, member: 12"] The reason I said get your own reamer is simple, there are variations of almost every Ack Imp cartridge and they vary from 35 to 40 degree shoulders and different degrees of body taper. We know of at least 7-8 variations of the 300 Ack Imp and no one set of dies marked 300 Ack Imp will work with all of them with any expectation of accuracy and long case life. Now if your smith can furnish a reamer print, you can call that reamer mftr and find out if a die company uses the corresponding resize reamer for their dies. If so, then you can use the gunsmith reamer and that mftr dies. The key is matching the chamber reamer with the die reamer. BH [/QUOTE]
