Needing a 7 SAUM Reamer

[tmccoy]

I'm getting into a bind and need some help. I've had plans for building this rifle primarily for a hunt out west next year. Have a nice defiance action, bartlein barrel, Jewell trigger, just waiting on my mcmillan stock. I had plans to just have a reamer made, mainly wanting throated for accubonds in the 140-175 range. The action is an XM length, so will handle out to 3.25" OAL, so I want to take advantage of that and not seat the bullets way back. But just got fairly short notice that I have to move out of state, and will have to strip down and move my machinery before I could get a reamer ground. Not even having bought another house yet, it could be next summer before I get my shop up and running again. I could get a stock PTG reamer from Grizzly, but don't want to have to re throat it later since that freebore is way way shorter than needed.

Would anyone have a reamer with freebore in the range of 0.175-0.220 that they would lend, rent, or sell? I'd just really like to get it barreled before I have to leave. Don't think I could stand to stare at this beautiful receiver in the box till next year!!!

Thanks,
Travis

Travis...just finished a 7saum using a reamer from Grizzly. Customer called Griz and asked for a match reamer. The reamer according to pt&g had a .090 freebore. I pointed out to the customer that he needed a .188 fb. He told me to go with the .090 reamer. We made a dummy round using 180 hybrids seated with the boat tail/bearing surface .020. Above the shoulder/neck junction and it worked out perfect. It don't make any sense but it worked. You might want to check this out with Grizzly.
