[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 1090340, member: 1521"] I fill out a reamer print, order the set(including finish, roughing, sizing, pilots, go/no gages), and hold it to send with my barrel/die blanks for finishing. These are my tools, and I expect them back in good condition(for future barrels). When I sell a gun, the reamer set, dies, bushings and gizzys go with it. The barrel finisher would typically mark the barrel with something like "6BR IMP .267NK" Where I buy pre-built bolt guns, it's worked out all right, provided I still use custom dies (fitted from fire formed brass). I'm talking something like a Cooper or McMillan, and where I won't be needing to replace the barrel frequently. I'm as happy as can be to do this, if I can, as it saves time and money for sure.
