varmintexpress Posted May 11, 2018 Report Share Posted May 11, 2018 I'm looking to buy a good reamer to cut a LW blank. LW blank steel is strong. anybody recommend a good reamer manufacturer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moorlander Posted May 11, 2018 Report Share Posted May 11, 2018 http://www.bbt.scot Pretty sure you need to be an RFD to buy reamers . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catch-22 Posted May 11, 2018 Report Share Posted May 11, 2018 Anyone can own a reamer but Geoff (and other makers) won't sell to people outside of the trade. So if your RFD orders it for you and gives it to you to own, that's fine. I've done just this, my smith gave me my .338 Norma Mag reamer to own/hold.

baldie Posted May 11, 2018 Report Share Posted May 11, 2018 Geoff's reamers are superb. I'm using half a dozen in different calibres and they cut like razors. They leave an internal finish so good, you actually have to rough it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John RPA Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 arc ballistics reamers are fantastic too with a super fast turn around great to deal with and custom reamers not a problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 Any of the reamer manufacturers offerings will cut Lothar Walther blanks Yes the steel is harder to work with but it’s still softer than HSS or Carbide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris M Posted May 25, 2018 Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 ARC Ballistics reamers are superb, I would strongly recommend them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
