[QUOTE="steve smith, post: 120602, member: 110"] First off. Thank you all for the responses, they were all helpfull. Fifty Driver You being a gunsmith I thought you might be able to answer this question. I already have a 270-300RUM floating pilot reamer. #1 is it possible? #2 would this be advantageous, {financially that is} vs. buying 338-300 reamer" For me to get the appropriate pilot for the new .338 barrel and purchase a neck and throat reamer, use the 270-300 reamer {with .338 pilot} to cut the chamber and use the neck and throat reamer to finish. The 270-300 reamer is carbide and has been used only once! Also I had planned on [already have the brass] using 375RUM brass and necking down to .338cal, so neck turing will be a necessity. No big deal, already turn necks for the 270-300. Now to the actual neck diameter, lets say .002-.003" clearance and turn necks to .365" so the reamer should be ground to .367-.368". Sound about right? [/QUOTE]
