[QUOTE="Coyote Shadow Tracker, post: 2691064, member: 116439"] Hey Paul Merry Christmas and have a HAPPY Healthy Prosperous New Year. If you have a good GS by you have them do and also ask how many they done before. If you are going to DYI get the KIT with a specific caliber and then purchase separate cutters for other calibers. Hornady Modified Case L-N-L OAL Gauge with a good Caliper to measure. If you don't already have the Modified Cases send us two fire formed of each cartridge and we will Drill and Tap them for you. There is a lot of UTubes and instructional info out on the internet. Study as much as you can before attempting. Then if you have a burnt out barrel -practice on it. Doing it on a Lathe is the best way to go and doing by hand you need to be steady and SLOW. These Reamers cut FAST. Use a good gauge to measure where your lands are at and determine how much more FB you want/need for the specific bullet you want to use. Measure twice cut once. Do this several times until you get the needed depth. SLOW and STRAIGHT. There are several stories on LRH where a DYI messed up their barrel and I have other shooter tell me the same. I also heard Positive stories where they did it right. You don't want to be the DYI that said " I used the Reamer twice (three times) and the Throat is still too LONG". Good luck and if we can help out in any way give us a call. Thanks Len & Jill [/QUOTE]
