[QUOTE="ELR Researcher, post: 981750, member: 19541"] steeltraps and JeffVN: As I suspect you realize, "338 LM Imp" is not a "standard". There is the ".338 LAPUA MAGNUM IMP 40 DEGREE" (PTG online reamer listing), the 338 Allen Xpress, possibly the 338 Yogi is also a 338 LM based improved, and CH4D lists a 338 LM Improved, an Improved KS, and an Improved PT. I'm assuming the PTG (online reamer listing) is not an AI (i.e., an actual Ackley Improved "standard" for "AI") since Dave does not list it as AI. So there are a bare minimum of 4-5 "versions". [Seriously disconcerting when you are trying to match dies to your rifle - and that without even touching the question of throat lengths.] Which "version" do each of you have? FYI - PTG does not put the reamer drawing number on their reamers or invoices, only the name. If you ordered based on a PTG reamer drawing, however, the drawing will have a reamer number on it.
