[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 279476, member: 12"] Rarely when dealing with wildcats will you find off the shelf matching reamers and dies. There are to many variations of each, that are the same name but different in key sizes. The best bet is talk with a reamer maker such as Dave Kiff at Pacific tool and guage to have him make the reamer for the bullets you want. Your own reamer is about $150 and another $50 for go and no-go gauges. Then go to Neil Jones Custom Products with a reamer print. They will make a set of dies to perfectly match your chamber. Neil will send you a NS die only initially to allow you to load and fire five cases three times to get them to grow to chamber dimensions. Send the NS die back along with the 5 cases and he will fit the die with a custom body insert for your chamber that is also a shoulder bump bushing die. Cost is $275 and about 30-45 days. You are investing in a top quality outfit it looks like, buying off shelf reamer and mismatching dies will probably not work as well as you would like. Now having said that, the reamer mftrs also make the reamers for die mftrs. Quite often you can talk to Dave Kiff and find out who is using his reamers for a given wildcat and just need to get his reamer when you confirm with the die company that is what they are using. Right now ordering custom (non stock) dies is taking 3-6 months to get them. Neil Jones is better die and quicker. BH [/QUOTE]
