D99Custom reamers?
Wanting to get the reamers, go/no go gauges and reloading dies built for a few rifles I want to build. I figure I will build in reverse tactical order so everything is ready at the same time.
Who is the guy to do a good job on this stuff.
Here's the cartridge list.
45 Blaser (reamer, gauges, and dies)
10.3x60R (reamer, gauges, and dies)
9.3x70 (reamer, gauges, and dies)
9.3x74R (reamer and gauges)
7x65R (reamer and gauges)

tnekkccI have got custom reamers from Pacific and from Manson.
I like Manson better.

DuaneinNDBoth "Daves" are nice guys, good to deal with. I just buy most of my reamers from Dave Manson.

pinotguyD99,
From the looks of your list, it appears as though you are afflicted with the same obscure cartrige illness that I have.

I am interested in that 9.3x70 as well and am wondering what you have in mind for it.
PTG is definitely an excellent source for reamers and gauges.

Clymer was good, back when Dave Manson was their production leader. Since the new owners took over, you don't hear much about them anymore.
OP, once you have your reamer & GO gauge (does a good smith need a NO-GO to set up a chamber?), talk to Troy Newlon at
www.NewlonPrecision.com about die blanks. He makes some nice stuff.
