[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 1808041, member: 1521"] My reamer sets include rough chamber, finish chamber, and sizing. I get go/no-go gauges with the order, and I have the barrel finisher cut me a widget for shoulder bump measuring, chamber end clearance setting, turned neck clearance, and seating land relationships (with finish chamber reamer, from barrel end cut off). I set all parameters of my reamers (I fill out blank prints), and my final formed cases exactly match my plan for dimensions, clearances and capacities. I've had my barrel finishers chamber Wilson seating die blanks for me. Apparently this is an easy affair(for a seating die), having received no concerns about it. For sizing, I have not seen my where my sizing die maker(JLC Precision) has actually used my sizing reamers(even while sent with dies and reamer print). Somehow a custom die maker can set correct dimensions-without my reamers. I don't know how, but he's done a great job, so I can live with the mystery so far. Also, a barrel finisher may not actually use the rough chamber reamer. Many of them drill the rough chamber, and use only the finish reamer. Given my experience with this, it's understandable to me how many get by with a finish chamber reamer only. You can send a custom sizing die maker fired brass in the form you want properly sized, and they do their stuff. The right stuff. I highly recommend reloaders, building guns, to fill out a reamer print and order their own. It's cheap, and it gives you important control over the outcome. I also recommend having sizing dies matched for fully fire formed cases. You just can't go wrong with this. [/QUOTE]
