Custom reamer for 28 nosler

I want to shoot 195 Berger's, but because they can be more difficult to get than the 180's. Should I have a custom reamer made based on the 195 anyway?

This is my first time ordering a custom reamer.

Get a good supply of bullets you want to shoot, seat a bullet just about .005 above the neck shoulder junction and send the dummy round to JGS or Dave Manson. Personally I would go with the 180 I've heard of some 195's that failed on people I trust.

Great! Thanks for your input, I have been leaning that direction so thanks for the advice.

Seating .005 above neck shoulder junction is to close for me. I want room to seat the bullet further back for seating depth. 195's have shot good for me around .015-.020 off. I would personally run the 180's. Powder for the 180's is way easier to find than for the 195's. 184 hybrid would be another great bullet. Retumbo would work well for 180 class bullets in the 3200 FPS range.
