[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1115324, member: 4191"] Thanks for explaining that shortgrass. That makes perfect sense. My reamer has a neck of uniform diameter the full length, and the section just in front of the neck (lead) where the bearing surface of the bullet extends forward from the case neck of a cartridge also has no taper. So those were the areas I couldn't imagine sharpening without losing diameter. I haven't had my barrel chamber cut yet, but I'm going to pull out my reamer and look at it more closely now under a magnifying glass to see of the cutting surfaces look uniform and sharp. Someone posted a pic earlier of a chamber reamer with a cutting edge that looked like a rasp! I don't want to ruin a $350 barrel with a $125 chamber reamer... [/QUOTE]
