[QUOTE="fightthenoise, post: 2085544, member: 100546"] I'm about to order a Tikka prefit from Carbon6. It's going to be chambered in 7mm RSAUM, but I want to shoot 180 ELD-M's. From perusing the threads by those who have come before me, SAAMI freebore is 0.090, but I need something like 0.250 or so to seat the 180 ELD-M at a reasonable length and still have 0.020 jump or so to the lands. I'm not worried about magazine length. So I need to send Carbon6 a reamer. Do I load up a dummy round and have one made? If so, who should I go to for that? Or are there reamers out there floating around that I could rent? Something tells me I'm not the first fella that has needed this reamer, and it would cut down on my lead time quite a bit if I could borrow an existing one. I've never had a barrel custom chambered. I've done prefits, but they've always been SAAMI. [/QUOTE]
