.414 SuperMag reamer rental

[ohland]

As you can see from the tagline, ain't got a lick of sense...

After checking out a few good reamer places, I have a healthy respect for a good chunk of cold steel. But I need to jam this into a barrel...

Can a .41 Rem Mag be extended into a .414 SuperMag with a standard .41 Rem mag reamer (made with a square shank)? Otherwise, futz up a tap wrench or deep socket wrench to drive the reamer?

Nowdays, think of the shipping and insurance BOTH ways in addition to the rechambering. Good chunk of money.

:popcorn:

The 41 mag reamer also cuts the recess for the cartridge rim so while it can be driven in farther, it will destroy the barrel. It does cost a bit to rent the 414 reamer but it is still less than the cost of having a gunsmith ream it.
What gun are you considering reaming?

If someone listed a 414 reamer, I'd have taken them up.

Simply punch out a 41 Mag to 414.

could you not just grind off the rim cutting flutes?

or use an appropriate sized chucking reamer? then throat it if needed?
