[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2819843, member: 10755"] I have always bought and trusted Manson and Clymer reamers, throating reamers and other necessary items. I find carbide to wear better than HSS. Although feed rate plays a big part in this. I used to use PT&G reamers, but something happened there and they can’t be trusted to match the reamer prints. Although this happened, I still use many of their products in my custom builds, bottom metal, cocking pieces, one piece bolts, recoil lugs and myriad of other parts. Also use their headspace gauges. I won’t qualify an answer regarding what chambering, as I would get quite a few differing requests, if I didn’t have the reamer, I knew where I could borrow one from. If I got asked for the same chambering a few times, I just bought a reamer to suit, happened with the 7STW in about 2 months and I chambered a take off barrel for myself while I was at it. As to type of reamer, I find most clients building a full custom either want custom throated reamers of their own print, match grade with a longer throat or just a match grade chamber. Most re-barrel jobs have been match grade or SAAMI. The numbers in favour of SAAMI. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
