[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1511568, member: 2736"] I am not sure because I don't want to measure them for the same reason as I mentioned with finish reamers. All I can tell you is that after using them (I have done 6 wildcats) that they have been perfect and fire formed cases gets sized perfect. I have checked the sized cases against the fired cases and It appears that they are some where between .0015 and .0025 smaller just doing a rough measurement of the two different cases before any bump. I will try to get a definitive measurement and see if the size reduction is the same across the different cartridges. My hand made wildcat sizing reamers although a lot of trouble to make, have been excellent so I have been extremely pleased with them. I have also checked on having them made and in many cases I had to have the dies in order to load before I could fire form and the die makers that I talked to needed cases that had been fire formed at least 3 or 4 times. On some of my wildcats that friends wanted, I used my dies to chamber and fire form their cases and fired some of there cases more than once to get a good chamber fit so they could have the cases to have a die maker make their dies. As soon as I can get the dimensions, I will post them. Good question ED Now I am interested to know for my self. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
