[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1082644, member: 4191"] I see. I didn't realize the reamer was already purchased. I don't know if it's possible to have the reamer reground to smaller dimension or not, and I don't know what sort of fee would be charged. But with respect to the "LEAD", yes the only alternative I can think of is the use of a .338 neck/throat reamer to lengthen the "LEAD". That steel has already been removed from your reamer, and there's no way to add it back to lengthen your "LEAD" with that reamer. I have heard of re-sharpening services that aren't all that expensive from reamer manufacturers, but I don't know what might be possible to alter your reamer dimensions before you cut your barrel chamber with it. Now's the time to do something like that rather than rushing into a chamber job with a reamer that's lacking in any significant way. It only gets more and more expensive once you've cut and headspaced your barrel's chamber. [/QUOTE]
