Precision rifle chamber reamer

[Armafix]

Should I order my own or should I go for what the gunsmith has?

If you plan on staying with this chambering (what ever it is) then you should buy your own reamer. Whether you do it yourself or take it to your local G.S. to be done, the chamber will always fit your existing brass.

I'm just starting a build. I bought a brand new reamer and head space gauge from Pacific Tool and Die.

Depends on what the smith is using. I am quite happy with the JGS reamer that Mick has used on all my 6BR's. I have had to buy wildcate reamers, but generally, I am happy to let my smith use his.

I have

been using my own reamer and probably will do so forever.

You get two things in doing this. You get a die cut to the specs you want and you have your own die that cuts chambers only for you or those you loan it out to. Then you can order a custom sizing die to match your chamber by fire forming a few pieces of brass and sending them to a die maker. Then you get the best in performance of die to chamber match.

Who makes your custom dies?

Redding makes precision custom die sets and you can send them fire formed brass to base it on
