does anyone here have a 357max chamber reamer that they rent out?I have a 357mag Handi rifle that i would like to rechamber to 357max.

this barrel i have is not a factory barrel but a custom made one by someone local in Michigan,i dont know who it is though.It has nice deep groves and it should be a nice cast shooter

If you don't find a reamer, Mike Bellm can do the job for you.

I would recommend Mike Bellm also. It will cost some, but you know it will be done right. He does not just run a reamer into the chamber, but indexes the cutter of a mill or lathe off the lands and grooves to insure the chamber is square to the bore. I had a T/C 12" 357 mag barrel rechambered to 357 max by Mike and I'm very pleased with it so far even though I have not shot it a lot yet. The 357 Max is his favorite caliber, so he puts that little extra attention to it to be sure it right. If it were me and had a custom made barrel like that, I would be sending it to him.

or you could join Greybeards and learn everything there is to know about Handis

AND they rent reamers for the DIYer. the Max reamer rental is $10 plus postage.

Oh, that is for US costumers only... no Canadians allowed. (or other Nations)

I see your are from Michigan, so you should be good to go.

I now have a 357max reamer coming .This is a very simple chamber to cut and it only takes some cutting oil and about a minute to do.

thanks for the responses
