[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1426254, member: 2736"] No problem. No disrespect taken. It is just harder to measure the reamer than the chamber and I prefer measuring the chamber because it demonstrates what the reamer will actually do when cutting. (Just Me/my way) If you take the measuring in steps, it will tell you lots about the reamer.When starting the chamber, as the neck is being cut it is easy to measure neck diameter and free bore. as the shoulder is being cut, the angle is easy to measure because you have a square shank end to measure off of. Then as you start the chamber body, you can measure the body to shoulder diameter. At the same time all this is happening, you can set the spindle speed to get the best cutting RPM. It is just the way I like doing it (I'm anal about some stuff) even though there are many others that do things differently. It sounds like a pain to do it this way, but it doesn't take that long, and when complete it actually saves time if it prevents a problem later that is hard to resolve (Like a wrong dimension or a poor cutting reamer that doesn't cut true or burnishes the chamber making it difficult to get a true chamber.
