Resizer Reamer Dimensions

[Scott Harris]

Quick question: how much smaller should the resizer reamer be when compared to the chamber reamer to ensure reliable function with a repeating bolt action hunting rifle? I'm ordering a resizer reamer from PT&G and they specified -.0035 on the body dimensions: i.e. the resizer reamer will be .0035" smaller than the chamber reamer. Is this enough? How much do commercial dies size the body down by?

Thanks!

If that is what Dave Kiff spec'ed it is good to go, I doubt anyone here has more experience with chamber and resizing reamers than Dave.

Commercial die run lots more tolerances than that as a rule...
If Dave said it--believe it..
