robinette 30BR reamer/die questions

Gents,
Having a 30Br put together and am looking for the best advice for dies. Had Shilen do a a pre-fit savage barrel with a .330 Robinette reamer cut.
1) Can I use and would you recommend using the stock Wilson in-line seating dies, or do you have a recommendation for someone who does custom die reaming,specifically with the Robinette reamer without buying a reamer of my own)?
I also noticed that the Shilen website said it is a 30degree reamer. Is this unique? I have been looking for diagrams for the 30br and have not been able to find the chamber dimensions.
Thanks in advance,
Mike

A standard Wilson seater will work great, although the stainless micrometer seater is much easier to use. As for a sizing die, send two fired cases to Lynwood Harrell to have a FL seater made to match up nicely with YOUR chamber. The sizing die will run around $70.
 
Thanks for the info guys. I just picked up one of Lynwood's combo presses, and am very happy with the finish quality.
I am sure his dies are of equal quality.
So there it is...A Harrell's die for FL and a Wilson in-line for seating.
Can't wait to get it back from the smith and get it out to the range.
Mike
