I'm rebarreling a 22-250 into a 20 br and I'm having a hard time discerning the difference between the 20 br Remington reamer or the 20 br lapua reamer.Most reamers just have a 20 br tag. But the dies say 20 br Remington or 20 br lapua. Does this mean I can't use lapua brass? Is this something I need to be concerned about or are they both the same? Feel free to expound.

NO!
I just found this out over the summer. I ordered a PTG 20 BR reamer thinking it would be Lapua brass natively. Afterall, who doesn't use lapua brass? Turns out the reamer was .006 too small at the .200 datum line and lapua brass wouldn't chamber.
After a few weeks of thinking how this happened i called Pete at PTG and he mentioned that this was clearly incorrect.
Long story short, Pete and PTG made good on my reamer and replaced it for free within 3 weeks and now I am going go pop it in bedding this week.
your reamer print might be ok with both brands of brass but don't assume its "universal"

The lapua case is a bit longer and fatter at the base.
