[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1207610, member: 2736"] If you are just starting to chamber, I would recommend not getting tricky with reamer dimensions and just go with SAMMI spec. reamers. You would be amazed at the possible accuracy with SAMMI chambers if they are cut right and fed good ammo. Setting back and cutting a new chamber is a good way to freshen up a good shooting rifle, but the cost is almost the same as re-barreling. So unless the rifle is a good shooter re-barreling is normally the best approach. I also don't recommend renting the reamer. To many chances of it being poor and ruining a great barrel. Reamers are not that much more to buy and if you plan on doing more chambers, you have a good start on tooling that can/will be used in the future. (I loaned one out to a good friend, and had to send it back to Manson to have it re-sharpened). Just my opinion J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
