[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 1706197, member: 5219"] I believe you should own the reamer with the specifications that meet your needs. No reason to compromise with a SAMMI spec or a reamer that the gunsmith happens to own. In addition it will be sharp reducing the chance of reamer chatter producing a good finish in the chamber. I believe all the dimensions have been discussed except throat angle. My friend and I have 20 reamers between us. Most of the reamers use a 1 1/2 degree throat angle. There are a few exceptions the 284 win uses a 2 degree and the 300 RUM uses a 1 degree. The 1 1/2 degree works well with VLD style bullets including all versions of Berger bullets as well as Nosler, Hornady and Sierra bullets. My friend and I do our own machining. Some of the reamers have been used for multiple chambers amortizing the cost. You can always sell your reamer if you move on to other chamberings. [/QUOTE]
