[QUOTE="ken snyder, post: 538112, member: 26019"] This is a very interesting thread and perhaps one that we are shareing the same general thought. It is not possible to manufacture anything exact. all reams have unimportant differences. Unless specified, a tool grinder will not manufacture a ream that will cause him headache because it is too small. A Resizeing die manufacturer will not make dies that do not re-size far enough, because neither receive complaints about a cartridge that will chamber. any thing other than that is a custom modification available only by request. How ever military and police have strange requirements including fluted chambers. ( I leave their strange world totally alone). Even at that, the small differences in same designation dimensions is tremendously out weighed by the accuracy of the lathe being used to do the chambering and the skill of the operator. A poor set-up will never make a chamber smaller than the ream it will always make a hole larger than it. Shoddy examples can make massively oversized chambers with the best ream that any man can make. [/QUOTE]
