Reaming Redding Comp Die Sleaves

Post by stinkitup »

Hi

I need to have my Redding Comp Bushing and seater die sleaves reamed with my chamber reamer as they are for a standard 6.5x55 and not an AI. Has anyone had this completed before?? Any by who / how much etc.

I figure they could be setup in the lathe but the obviously the reamer pilot wont located it etc...????

I use wilson seater blanks for my f class seating dies- just work out the height needed with a projectile and cut it to suit, then run the reamer in. Pretty simple job for any gunsmith.

Got my dies back yesterday all sweet!

Big thanks to Camel for recomending DavidC over on AHN. Back in a week and a half and less than $50 posted which is pretty damn good.

Take me all morning if not longer if I went out to the old mans lathe.
