Reamer makers

[Brad Y]

Im ordering a 284S reamer for myself and courtz and my preferred maker has indicated a lead time of 6 months- cutting it a bit fine if Im going to have a 7mm for tassie.

PT&G have always been hard to get ahold of, but thier online store says it takes only 6 weeks for a custom reamer build. Has anyone had any contact with them recently that might confirm this? Looks like they will send to Aus again finally too.

And finally can anyone just confirm that 0.318 will be ok for a no turn neck?

try JGS which have a lot of no turn reamers on the shelf but don't know about a Shehane - almost certainly have a straight 284. From what I have heard they are very good quality.

With PT&G I have just been charged for a reamer (so think it is in the post) that I ordered on 16th April so not too bad.

PT&G are faster now than they were last year. You place an order and then a few months they turn up, if you didnt look at your credit card transactions for a few weeks it would be a surprise when you went to the letterbox.

JGS are excellent quality, unless your reamer is on the shelf they are quoting
a 20 week lead time.

Would there be anybody who could hire a reamer out to do 2 barrels only ill be happy to pay good $ plus all post

Just so I can get up an running sooner

Thanks Courtz

PTG will do a 48hr turn around but the cost is a extra $100, I have been paying the extra so I actually get them , I'm still awaiting an order from last Nov.
My 284 no turn reamer is 0.3175, any reason for the Shehane ???
I'd go 280 AI before the Shehane.

I was thinking the same Matt, but Courtz has ordered dies already and with the wealth of info available here on the 284 and 284S it seems a logical step to take. Improving the cases I thought eased up on case pressure helping them last a little longer. Not trying to push for 3000fps, just a standard 2800-2900 is what Im after with the 180's.

[DaveMc]

I think they are all great - thats why I have one/some of each (+some RSAUM barrels) . Really anything in this case capacity region hasl proved extremely accurate.

My thoughts now are I would lean on 284/284Shehane if barrel life is your priority. and the 280AI/RSAUM if you want slightly more punch (although they can be loaded back anyway). I actually love them all!!!

mine took about 8 weeks from PT&G from order to delivery.

Has anyone used clymer reamers?
Del time?

[Brad Y]

Terry- heard plenty of good things, I contacted them once and never heard back.

Placed an order with PT&G this morning after they got back to me and said lead time was 4-6 weeks. That sounds good enough to me- I dont want to build my 7mm until after the queens.

[Paul Janzso]

I have a 7mm reamer for sale, brand new PT&G.
It's a 7mm Boo Boo
I have plenty of RWS brass also that has had the rims rebated.
Cheers

Brad
I was quoted 4-6 weeks last Nov, still waiting !!!!
I would suggest calling them in 6 weeks and then every week after until it's delivered.

No worries Matt, I have the direct number to the lady I dealt with- Sheila. She sent me an email this morning, I replied and she replied straight back so things looking good there.
