Gunsmithing silly question about chamber reamers

[18Echo]

Since I have zero knowledge about freebore, blue prints and reamer measurements I have a question.

Can I just load up an empty shell (no primer or powder) with the bullet I want to use at the length I want to run and send it off to one of the Makers to make the appropriate reamer for that cartridges measurements?

also can the manufacturer make me a sizing die based on that specific reamer or is that something the smith doing the chambering does?

Yes to both. Contact Dave Kiff at PTG. He may already have a print on file for what your looking for. As for the dies expect to pay dearly for custom dies

Re: silly question about chamber reamers

custom dies are that expensive, huh? I paid $200 for the redding comp die set, are we talking that price range or substantially more? Do you need a custom seater also or will the custom sizing die and a regular manufacture seater die work?

Dave Kiff is to reamers, what mother Theresa was to Calcutta.
