[QUOTE="Rustystud, post: 339105, member: 9964"] Dave Kiff is in the business of making custom tooling. He will make reamers and gauges to almost any specification. SAAMI spec Go and No Go gauges differ by .0035" not .006. We all know that we fire form to make wildcats. We also know that outside SAAMI specs things can get dangerous very quickly. I would highly recomend you have a reputable gunsmith check your gun. When shooting magnums at the top end of the presure grid there is no room for error. I agree that what Chad Dixon said about using shims works. However, if you are working in a shop that has liability insurance, they require the use of "steel gauges, both Go and No Go." It takes any guess work out of the equation. Nat Lambeth [/QUOTE]
