[QUOTE="Rflshootr, post: 1855076, member: 10284"] The average reamer from Kiff is $160. A set of head space gauges is $99. So for 1 reamer that only cuts 1 length throat is $259 before you pay shipping. I myself have over $4000 worth of reamers. It isn't cost effective to have the multiples of same caliber reamer with different throat lengths to accommodate all the different brands, styles and weights of bullets out there. One guy wants a 6BR to shoot light weight varmint bullets and another guy wants it to shoot 115 grain bullets. That's why we use a throater and a dummy round with the bullet seated in the case where the customer wants it. It isn't that hard to do once you know how to approach it using the dummy round as a gauge and the proper size pilot. [/QUOTE]
