Well I guess for once I had a good idea ::), How many rentals have you had Tim?Looks as though there is plenty of interest , perhaps more calibers  are in the works . A machinist friend of mine might be able to sharpen the existing reamer for  some more re-chambers, but he will have to look at it to tell.

It's out for #9 now, Jerryko was the last renter who said it was still doing the job, just took a little longer than the first time he had it. Wayne24 got it yesterday, we'll see how it does for him. It's a PT&G solid pilot reamer if that helps, I sent them an email to find out what they charge to resharpen it.

So what's the average turn around time?
If there is 4 guys ahead of me will it take 4 weeks or 8?

Just a guess, thanks.

Togojeff dropped off the list, so there are only three ahead of ya, about a week each time is right, sometimes less, sometimes more, that's if it stays sharp and doesn't have to be sharpened.

It's going in the mail today.  It's still cutting fine as far as I can tell.

I just got it today.  It will go back out Monday.

Done with the operation, Mag is now a Max.  All went well and was very easy, reamer was sharp and cut well. Drowned it in oil throughout the operation.  Off to the bench tonight to hand load some Max and off to the range in the morning to give it a try.

So how many Maxie's has this reamer done now?

Thanks to Quick and GBO for making this reamer available.

Made a quick range trip this morning.  The rifle still shot 357 mag and 38 Spec ammo as well as it ever did.  Shot 3 different loads of 357 max: 125 gr Win JHP's, 180 grn XTP's, 200 gr FTX's all over a medium helping of H110 with a small rifle primer.  The 125 grn load was sort of eratic, I only loaded them because I have a bunch and I figured if they shot OK they may do for coyotes.  I'll just say that that won't be my go to load for yotes just yet.  These grouped 4" at 50 yards and 8"+ at 100 yards.  The 200 gr FTX's did well presenting a 1.5" group at 50 and 3.5" group at 100 this will probably make a decent big game load.  The best load of all was the 180 gr XTP's.  This load presented nearly clover leafs at 50 yards and 1.5" at 100 yards.  Looks like this will make a good hunting load as well.  I wanted to throw together a 158 gr XTP load as well but ran out of time. 

Had a good time, it was a brief trip (under an hour) and I was shooting off a bipod as I didn't feel like dragging the sled along today.  Quite impressed with the new chambering.  Definitely a bit more stout of a report than the 357 mag but still not a lot of felt recoil.

Not sure how much hotter I want to go on my loading as the jury seems to still be out on the pressures that the SB1 can with stand.  For now, I'll stay with loads that are south of the pressures that the 44 mag makes as it is factory chambered on the SB1 frame as well.

I'd recommend this re-chamber to anyone with the 357 mag handi. ;D

Wouldn't a .410 chamber reamer work for the 454 as long as you don't go down to the case rim

Got it today.  Hoping to do the job tonight.

Can I use any oil?  I checked with my gunsmith and on Wiki....
What's so special about "cutting" oil?

Tap Magic in tin can is what I've been using, you should be able to pick up thread cutting oil in any good hardware store.  ;)

Easy project last night.  Should be able to get it in the mail tomorrow.


One word of caution.  STOP when the reamer touches the rim!  I was under the impression that the reamer wouldn't cut the rim.  WRONG.  I just got back from the range and it still went pop when I pulled the trigger, but the cases are a little deeper than they should be......
