Paul Rodgers - How To Make a Reamer This is a short paper describing how I have learned to make my own chamber reamers. These are half reamer and is how many of the early wildcats were done. Currently a custom chamber reamer is less than $200 and well worth the money if you have it. The process described below requires expensive machine tools and is labor intensive, if you do not have machine tools or the experience to run them you are probably better off purchasing a custom reamer from a Chamber Reamer manufacturer. As always I advise you that working on firearms is inherently dangerous, you do so at your own risk. Working with wildcat cartridges with no loading data available increases the chances of firearm failure and personal injury, I cannot be held responsible for the work you do or the firearms you work on. I urge you to work carefully and within the limits of your knowledge and skills. The first chamber reamer I made was a half reamer and worked without trouble despite missing some key features. I built it from the knowledge gained from various books, magazines and articles, almost no verbal instruction or examples. Since that time I have been instructed by several people who have made many reamers using this method and the results improve with each project. The example here is a .17 Jet die reamer the procedure is the same for a chamber reamer with minor changes. I acquired a barrel for a T/C Contender with some fired brass and nothing else. Reloading dies are not easily obtained and expensive so I made my own starting with this reamer. I start each reamer with a print of the chamber or cartridge, in this case measurements were made from fired cases and a chamber cast. The material used for the reamer is Drill Rod, available from many sources such as MSC Industrial or Enco. I have been most successful with W1 water hardening drill rod, O1 oil hardening seems to be preferred by others but W1 has worked the best for me. Prior to actual
