Can anyone recommend a good smith to ream a .357 Magnum to a .357 Maximum? I am picking up a .357 Handi next week, and I would like to convert it to a Maximum chamber. Thanks!

Do it yourself and enjoy your own work, It takes ten minutes or less and toaly hand powerd. Talk to one of the guys on the boards here and see if you could rent one from them or look for one of the companys that rent reamers, I'm sure Quick can point you in the right direction there.

If you want a smith to do it, I would recommend you check with Wayne York, he's doing a rebore for Mac and I on our 25-06 to 338-06 Ultra barrels. He's also rebluing my BC barrel for me.....
