[QUOTE="VinceMule, post: 3052787, member: 122164"] European brass is often larger in the web and neck thickness can vary greatly between different brands. If you use a SAAMI spec reamer, then try to use Lapua brass in some calibers, it can be problematic, 243 Winchester brass has a tremendous spread between Winchester and Lapua brands, and guys going to the 243 AI have been busted hard on this issue, the same issue applies with 223 Remington and 22/250 brass. I am referring to custom barrels not sloppy factory chambers. Some of the very best gunsmiths spend a lot of money, perfecting their Reamer designs for accuracy and ease of use. This always involves multiple reamers that have been ordered to make subtle changes. This type of information on Reamer design is often the Heart of a gunsmith's success, and they are not apt to just hand out their Proprietary reamer designs. I would not fault a gunsmith for not handing out reamer prints with all the time and money that they have invested in very successful, match-winning reamer designs. [/QUOTE]
