[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 956963, member: 5219"] My friend and I won't build a rifle without a reamer with specifications that suit our needs. You should do likewise. You can supply a dummy round to the reamer maker and talk about the other aspects of what you need. $140 or so is worth the performance. You could always sell the reamer afterwards. Generally a custom reamer will give you tighter tolerances. You and your reamer maker decide how much bullet release clearance and throat angle. Do you want a no turn neck or one that you turn? Believe me this stuff will make a difference in your accuracy and brass life. Typically the VLDs work best with a 1.5 degree throat angle. There are some exceptions. We use Pacific Tool and Gauge. Dan and I talk with Dave Kiff and we discuss our needs and what works best. To date my friend Dan, who shoots 1000 BR, and I have had nothing but the best results with our reamers: 22-250 AI 6mm-284 243SLR 243 rogue 257 Weatherby 284 Win 7 SAUM 7 rem mag 7mm/375 Ruger 7 stw 7RUM 30 BR 300 rogue (300 win mag improved) 300 AI ( based on 300 roy case) 300 RUM 338 RCM 338 RUM Your choice.
