    Reaming a S&W 586 cylinder to .357 Maximum?

    Hi folks-

    I'm looking for some advice. I have a S&W 586 cylinder currently chambered in .357 Mag. that I would like to have reamed out to accept the .357 Maximum case. This is for a special project to seat four small wadcutter bullets flush with the end of the case.

    I'm fairly mechanically inclined, but I've never undertaken such a project. Is this something I could do myself? If this is the case, do you have a recommendation for a source for roughing & finishing reamers? And if you recommend sending it to a gunsmith to have it done, do you have a recommendation for someone who could do this work?

    Thanks for your time,

    Bill
