oldmanrallee received the reamer on the 30th, I sent him a PM yesterday asking how he was doing with it, he quoted my PM back to me with no reply, I sent another PM which he hasn't answered yet.

Tim,

The reamer will be shipped out Monday priority USPS.

That was hands down the easiest chamber reaming I have ever done. Was like the reamer was cutting butter.

I understand this reamer is the correct rifle type. Can anyone tell me how long the throat is with this reamer? Specifically, what cartridge overall length is required to touch the lands with a Hornady 180gr. SSP or a Hornady 200 gr. FTX.
Thanks,
Steve

quickdtoo · « **Reply #225 on:** January 19, 2011, 02:16:18 PM »

I checked mine, 2.578" for the 180gr SSP(BC .248) which puts the bullet entirely out of the case. It's 2.300" for the 180gr Speer(BC .236), I've only shot the Speer loaded just off the lands.

Tim

Slowhanddd · « **Reply #226 on:** January 19, 2011, 02:34:11 PM »

Hey Tim.Can you"short"ream with this?I have some 180 JHP that I'm wanting to load.I can't come close to those lengths.I don't think.I'll have to check that out.

quickdtoo · « **Reply #227 on:** January 19, 2011, 02:59:41 PM »

I don't know, even in my Maxi chamber you can see the end of the old chamber, not enough to leave a mark on the brass though, the Maxi round is tapered slightly tho.

Slowhanddd · « **Reply #228 on:** January 19, 2011, 03:22:13 PM »

With about 1/4"in the case I can get close that measurement for the speer.I'll figure it out when the reamer gets here next week.Thanks for the drawing.

After reading the review at Midway, I think it may work just fine, worth a try, the price is right!!

Excellent reamer will easily re-chamber a 357 Mag to a Maximum. True 6 deg ramp. You can chamber completely or stop when your target / hunting load touches the bore. I have re-chambered 3 Handi Rifles with this reamer and all three shoot excellent groups.

Slowhanddd · « **Reply #230 on:** January 24, 2011, 01:30:28 PM »

Hey Tim.Got the barrels done today(3).Will be headed back to you in the morning.Works great.Too dang cold to try too long.Groups not too bad.Thanks,Slow

Feddog82 · « **Reply #231 on:** February 07, 2011, 02:53:25 PM »

Is this reamer a forcing cone style reamer or a rifle chamber reamer? If it is not a rifle style chamber reamer my question is; "Could you use a rifle style chamber reamer in a Handi or Contender?" "If you can would that get rif of the old forcing cone style chamber and leave you with a true throat?" I am just wondering and anyone's help or input would be great. Thanks.

(The reason I ask is b/c I noticed the guys in the Casull reamer thread are using a rifle or "non-forcing cone" style chamber reamer.)

If you can please reply to me via PM so I don't get accused of hi-jacking. Thanks.

There have been 57 very happy 357Max owners after using this reamer, no complaints yet.

Perhaps the answer to this is buried somewhere in the 8 pages, so please forgive me if it is:

- what make is the reamer? PTG, Clymer?
- how much freebore and leade does it cut? Perhaps if someone could post the max OAL they have with a well-known bullet, that would answer the question indirectly.

quickdtoo · « **Reply #234 on:** March 03, 2011, 05:14:27 AM »

It's the PTG reamer from Midway.

Winter Hawk · « **Reply #237 on:** March 08, 2011, 08:08:50 AM »

Tim,

I tried to PM you with this but it bombed out on me so I'm trying here. Is there a .30-40 reamer out there on this same pricipal which I can use for my .30-30 Handi? If not, do you have any suggestions for doing this?

Thanks!
-Kees-

quickdtoo · « **Reply #238 on:** March 08, 2011, 11:17:38 AM »

I answered the PM, I'm not aware of one, I dunno if it can be done by hand or not, but reamers are available for rent from 4D and Elkridge.
