New Reamer Day!
« on: April 09, 2018, 08:12:44 PM »
My 270 BoonDoggle (270/375 Ruger) reamer showed up today!


Now I just need to decide if I want to wait until my 1-7" twist barrel shows up before I use it, or maybe have a test barrel made up for one of my Savages. It's pretty easy to find 1-9" twist 270 barrels, but that would be borderline for stabilizing the 170gr Berger and no chance of stabilizing the 168gr Hammer Hunter.

The right way to do it is send the reamer and a barrel blank off to somebody who knows what they're doing and have it all dialed in and done right on a lathe. I've been know to hand ream barrels while they're held in a bench vise though. :chuckle: I've rechamered a couple of 338 Win Mag barrels to 338/375 Ruger that way. I could probably track down a cheap 270 barrel for a Savage and do the same here. It takes a long time though!

 :) i was looking at that reamer and thinking it had a pilot on the end that might just work with a makita cordless if a guy was steady. 
Thx for sharing.   :tup:

This cartrage is going to be sweet. Have you decided how you'll do your brass?

That would be sweet with the faster twist.   Might even work with the slower 1/9.

Don't you also need a variety of different pilot bushing sizes to accommodate for the varying bore diameters, it's not just a one size fits all is it?

It is and my comment is really just a sarcastic way of saying the same thing.

I am ready for adoption.  Will sweep chips for machine time.

Incredible setup.  Shoot I wish I just had the bare minimum setup for chambering and threading blanks.  If I had a shop like that, I'd never leave  :tup:
