LE Wilson seater blank. Educate me.

[GetReel]

If I buy a Wilson arbor seater blank, does the gunsmith just ream it like the barrel chamber and it's ready to go?

That's about it. Bring him a loaded round or dummy to measure, the blank will likely get shortened.
Warning: zero runout and precisely consistent seating depth is highly addictive.
get the micrometer version.

Ideally you want it chambered with the same reamer your rifle is chambered with.

I would think that you would need a reamer that's like the one used to chamber the rifle but 0.002" less in diameter.

I have several Wilson inline seaters that were cut using my reamer that my rifle was chambered for. They work perfectly.

Might have to tap each loaded round out if it's that tight.?
I use my own chamber reamer also, with great results.

Oh, you're right. I was thinking of a resizing did. Duh
