[QUOTE=".30US, post: 916529, member: 19108"] Every company I've contacted but PTG has been very responsive and helpful through email. I'm still hoping to hear back from PTG, because I've heard great things about Dave Kiff's knowledge; their contact form on their site just might not be working. Manson's reamer drawing is below. The only differences I see are a .300" vs .298" or .297" neck and a base of .480" (matches with my Lapua brass) vs .478". I don't know if it's worth having the neck turned down, .297" is what some on the benchrest forum recommended as maximum not needing neck turning. I've also read that Redding dies are based off of Manson reamers, so I would think the combination would be fine. Correct? Shortgrass, I hope you have some expert knowledge you can impart on this based on your experience.
