Ralph or anyone with experince with this technique. I would like to get more information on the inside neck reaming and don't want to high jack the thread on outside neck turning.

Is this a special order die and reamer from RCBS? I did not see it in their on line catalog.

Assuming the die fits in the press. What tool turns the reamer or is it turned by hand?

What cost range would I be looking at to set up for one caliber?

It is a special order item.

It is usually a component of a case forming kit where neck reaming is anticipated, however it can be custom made for any listed caliber.

The reamer is turned by hand with a T-handle, like a tap. The reamer cuts very quickly, much faster than turning the outside of the neck.

Reamer sizes are standard. The reamer may be used in multiple dies. If you have a 22-250, a 223, or a 22-50BMG Ackley Improved you can use the same reamer. All you need is the appropriate die body.

Reamers are $80. Die boddies are $80.

Thanks for the info. I thought someone was way off base the first time I read about neck reaming for accruracy.

Hey RH

Can you copy/paste the address at Midway or somewhere that shows where and how to order?


Without guns we are subjects, with guns we are citizens

I've got three caliber sets of the now-discontinued Lee Target Loader. It uses the straight line neck reaming as part of the loading process. These sets have turned out the most concentric reloads I've ever done.

Any pictures of the reamer or die body,any address,sounds intereting

It looks like a regular FL die.

Imagine a 4" reamer with a T-handle in place of the decapping rod.

Ralph, Thanks again. Another question. As an average shooter/loader tinkering with factory brass should I expect much improvement adding this as part of my brass prep?

YES!!!

Have you noticed that some bullets are noticeably harder to seat than others?

Have you noticed that some cases have thicker necks than others?

Have you noticed that some cases always seem to produce rounds with hardly any runout, while other cases always seem to produce rounds with a ton of runout?

This gizmo improved runout, and neck tension. It adds one more step to case prep, but it takes much of the frustration away.
