[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 1268617, member: 12"] Most people do not take the time to match the reamer specs to the die specs. The dies all have a variance that they can be and still be SAAMI, same thing with reamers. You can end up with tight reamer and loose die and not get enough sizing. Buying cheap the first time often costs way much more money in the long run. Buy what you need, not the cheapest. PTG makes reddings die reamers so they can match you up pretty easy if you order your reamer from them and tell them exactly what you are trying to do. One of the best dies on the market is to take a simple Redding body die for your caliber and send it to JLC Precision with 10 cases fired 3x. Jim Carstenson will hone the die to match your chamber, and convert it to FL size with bushings. Cost was $80 and 2-3 week turn around. [/QUOTE]
