[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 306073, member: 2736"] I will be honest with you I have never had a reamer sharpened because if used properly they should last 20 to 30 chamberings or more. Reamers are not very expensive and at around $110.00 avg. if you use one 25 times before it gets dull the cost per chamber would be $ 4.40 so I would just buy a new reamer and put the money for 2 way shipping and the re grind/sharpening towards the new one. Even the wild cat/custom reamers @ around $200.00 would only cost $8.00 per chamber and the price goes down the longer the reamer last. Some smiths say that they get over 200 chambers with there reamers using high pressure flushing. Just my opinion for what its worth. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
