[QUOTE="kopcicle, post: 2848106, member: 127100"] [USER=116439]@Coyote Shadow Tracker[/USER] Humor aside you should have common pistol and rifle calibers on hand. Common as defined by ammunition sales in your part of the world generally, and your neighborhood specifically. If you're not too pushy and explain yourself even Wall Mart will give you details. If you have the bed length and a reliable steady rest consider .22 x 5/16" barrel liners and "barrel liner drills" yes it's a thing. I guess it goes without saying that a 22LR reamer is part of the kit. Out west we are so diverse that 30-30, 30-06, .308, and 270 are common but not the majority of the work. 30-30 because who thinks to re-barrel a lever gun? The others because bore rarely gets used up. The .308 being the exception because of semi-auto use. The rest are caliber of the month (week?) and the "what if" guy. If you truly want to cover your bases and have a good selection of reamers on hand, again, track ammunition sales and have someone spy on the local ranges. Wherever the reamers come from keep an eye on lead times so you can quote a customer a lead time. keep a cool tool and don't worry. [/QUOTE]
