22lr match reamer selection

So....

I like to experiment, but I don't see the need to waste time unnecessary.
Planning to purchase a CZ 452 or 455 action for a .22lr and plan to experiment with barrels and chambering.
I have a bentz reamer that I've used for a small number of single shots. Thinking about venturing into a match chamber.
If any of you don't mind sharing, what do you look at in a .22lr match chamber reamer?
There is not much information available that I've been able to find on the net. Most published media speaks little to any on the subject.

Thanks for looking.
 
I have used a Bentz, and a SAAMI Match reamer. The SAAMI Match gave very good results(consistent 7/8"-5/8"@100yds in a hunting rifle with SK Standard.)
However, its steep leade angle(5°) means that a lot more material is being displaced when engraving. Getting a loaded round out of the chamber is iffy, even with the extractors set up fairly aggressively.
It was all I could find at the time, but I certainly wouldn't recommend it. A 2.5° or less leade angle sounds like the ticket.

Hey, anybody interested in a SAAMI Match reamer? Lightly used, excellent condition!;)
