[QUOTE="Rustystud, post: 306108, member: 9964"] Reamers get smaller with wear. They are made to be reground. To my door A piloted PT&G reamer cost $152.00. I own 4, .308 reamers with differing throats. Each has cut several hundred chambers. I have 3, .223 reamers and each has cut several hundred chambers. I have a .243 reamer that was reground from a .260 reamer that has several hundred chambers cut on it. I have several 6mm BR and 6mmBRX reamers each having several hundred chambers on them. I have a 6.5 x .284 that havs been reground and a .284 that has been reground. All cut great chambers. I treat my reamers with great care. I don't loan reamers either. Many of my customrs buy their own reamers and keep them for future chambers. I have had customers return after having another smith use their reamer and they be dull or chipped. Reamers that are not used with a high preasure flush system and a high quality cooland lubricant receive a lot more wear and tear. Nat Lambeth [/QUOTE]
