I would think any of the custom mould makers that use the cherry method would make you one, for a price of course...Ray

I've just been doing a similar search, and after looking in the "how moulds are made" section of the Lyman manual, I decided that just about any reamer manufacturer can do them. Unfortunately, a quick google search leads me to believe most of them are in India, but there are a dozen or so listed on the first page of searches still in America. I'm in the process of narrowing down my choices, or to put more accurately, making up a list of most-likely to least-likely to be able to make a bullet mould reamer.

Edited to add:
Just realized who Springfield's link is. HiMec reported in one of his posts about a custom mould that he had to "send off" for the reamer, so I don't think he makes them. So, if you bought one from him, it would likely just be an extra layer of cost (his profit), as opposed to going direct to a reamer maker... Samething probably true of NEI, though I'm even less sure of that.

Keep in mind that Lyman doesn't make their own, either. That's what some of the code letters mean stamped on their moulds - whe the cherry (reamer) manufacturer was...

PTG(Pacific Tool and Guage) makes reamers, Dave Manson is another. Plenty of reamer manufacturers of chamber reamers are capable of this job, price is another story. Magma has their reamers made of solid carbide. I would expect a custom cherry to run $300
