Four Fingers of Death

I have always been fascinated by the Epps conversions. There is a gunsmith in Sydney that was rechambering these, but his shop is so busy he is refusing to do any rechambering work.
I was considering ordering the reamer/s and doing it with the aid of an experienced mate.
It seems most gunsmiths in Australia just use the one reamer (finishing) for most of their work. I am sure fine target rifles get better treatment.
As the chamber is already cut to 303 Brit, I thought that I could get by with a finishing reamer. The Ruger No1 will be used for hunting and the SMLE for boolit plinking (I realise that it is not strong enough for full Epps loads).
What reamer and what options would suit best?
