I picked up the Manners TA off of the PX and didn’t really know what to do with it until I ended up with an extra MacBros element action. Figured I would give 7SAW a shot and see how it works on animals with the 140GR Absolute Hammers.

Very nice, should be fun. Type I or II reamer?

I just got my 7 SAW brass and dies for an upcoming barrel, but haven't decided on a Type I set up on a bighorn or a Type II on a tikka.
 
What's the difference in a T1 & T2 reamer? Which version is the Alpha Munitions Legacy reamer they sell?

From WTO below, but I'd guess the "legacy" reamer is the original design with the .045 throat.

"For shooters using the AI A/W 10rd mags, Alpha Mags, or the extended Accurate-Mag AICS pattern magazines and 162-168gr VLD type bullets the 7mm SAW II chamber works perfectly, allowing full use of the magazine and seating the bullet bearing surface above the neck/shoulder junction of the case. The .150″ freebore on the SAW II chamberyields a max OAL of around 3.090″ with 183 SMK, for F-Class shooters who single load. We also have to option of a short .045″ throat 7mm SAW I chamber version for shooters who want to run standard AICS mags or Magpul AI pattern PMAG’s."
