[QUOTE="Tac-O, post: 2201483, member: 109994"] Got my gun to the smith today for him to throat it and hone the chamber again. But, he said it would give another half thou max and swore up and down my die was the problem and that I needed to get a different sizing die. I'm pretty darn sure the reamer is below min chamber siZe spec for 284. After I size my case, it measures a thou below max cartridge spec and there is a thou difference between max cartridge and min chamber. So if the reamer was min spec, I should still have 2 thou clearance but I don't because it still is tight to chamber a case. Anyway, it doesn't sound like he'll be reaming it again. So if I do have to get another sizing die, would a Redding S FL die work if I were to buy the 284win die and use a 30 call bushing? Or would the bushing not fit in that die? That's what he suggested, but I didn't know if that would work because I don't know the internal design of them. Yes I could go custom die route, but Lee has suspended their orders for those and I don't have money for the expensive custom dies. What's the cheapest solution to size the body for 284 case and size a 30 cal neck? [/QUOTE]
