[QUOTE="Dave in WI, post: 1699915, member: 102495"] Long story short...[B]it's my fault[/B] because I didn't measure reamer before chambering. Rented a reamer for 308x1.5" for a project. Reamer renter showed a print on their sight that also matches customer's sizing die. Reamer does not match the print they show on their sight. Appears to match print from customers book Wildcat Cartridges of the World (I think that is the book). This is print from renters page with actual reamer dimensions noted on it: [IMG]http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL11/868624/24837054/414284192.jpg[/IMG] This is the print that I believe matches the actual reamer: [IMG]http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL11/868624/24837054/414284193.jpg[/IMG] So.....the easiest thing to do now would be to make a sizing die to match the second print? Die manufacturer recommendations? CH4D was my first call as that is the brand the customer has. They can do it but are backed up forever... Of course the customer's brass does not chamber fully as shoulder diameter is to large. P.S. Posted this in reloading forum as it pertains more to having a die made than gunsmithing. [/QUOTE]
