Reamer Print for using

[greisdor]

Lapua center X or Midus - any one willing to share?

Also - after chambering how far in will a round go in before it touches the lans?

Thanks Jerry

Use the Nevius reamer design as it was developed for use with Lapua ammunition (Kevin is a sponsored shooter). This chamber does allow for engagement, however I forget the depth.

Old school is still as good as any... 52D match chamber.

If you only planning to shoot Lapua I would recommend the JGS Nevius 1.5 reamer. with 0.030 engraving off the ogive, this will have a live round sticking out by 0.075
Though you can use the BR standard of 2-degree with more engraving, I found less the Nevius to less picky on different lots.

I bought one of these from JGS knowing a friend is having a match grade barrel made up and to have the option myself for my .22 rifles. I’ve been reading more about it including Kevin’s notes from recent years and it might not be as straightforward as supplying a centerfire reamer to a...

The smith needs to know that the engraving is only 0.030 off the ogive and generally this means a live round will stick out by 0.075 when pushed in till it stops against the leade.
I believe I stated that fact when I replied to Jerry's OP in any case the reamer is based off the Myer's 1.5 without the stop, so you can use a Myers as well. my best shooting rifle's barrel was done in that manner.

I use the JGS match reamer for most of the projects in my shop. I like having a bit more jam than .030 too.

Sir
The .075 that you are talking about is it from the bolt face side of cartridge or from barrel face to underside of cartridge head

Thanks Jim

Looks to be about that.

Did you mean you ask a question though?

 

[Jimbob]

Yes its a question I need to know if I'm measuring from the correct place when I ream the chamber
Thanks

Jim,

It is from the rim edge facing the breech face side of the cartridge.
