[QUOTE="Alex Wheeler, post: 2699680, member: 101859"] I have not made a penny off of any of this. In fact I will never make another reamer public, because of the number of calls I get on this subject from people who are not customers. Im a one man shop and that down time really ads up. So in reality, this has cost me money if you really want to know. And no, both ways do not reduce the base the same. ADG and Lapua brass in this case head needs a die that is at least .005 smaller at the base than the chamber. The old .003 number doesnt work. The Bullet central micron is the smallest die on the market. It wont fix the problem because theres only .003 between a new case and the chamber. No matter how small you make a die, it wont bring down the solid web. If that die or any die fixes your problem for the long run, your running low pressures or your chamber is already oversized. Just because the chamber was cut with the saami reamer does not mean it actually measures .533 at the .2". Even with the .005 needed, as this brass work hardens and pressures run high enough we still fight ADG. Dies start cracking. [/QUOTE]
