Anyone out there in possession of a reamer drawing from Dave Manson for a 40-82 Silhouette? I am going to have a rifle re-barreled and am trying to get a set of dies made as well. One of the requisites is a chamber drawing. I've looked online, but no joy. Thought there might be one out here in this forum. If so and you will email it to me I would be forever in your debt! Email to rifledude@msn.com and thanks in advance.

Dave will make you a chamber reamer and a die reamer. Makes a custom sizer about as easy as threading and chambering the barrel blank. I usually make straightwalled wildcat sizers by boring a die blank (threaded barrel blank drop) to whatever is close to the neck area of the same caliber sizer die for another cartridge. Then add in any taper ending where the bullet base would be on the cartridge. This one however I made with a Manson sizer die reamer.
