It's a long sad story, but I am left with brass, dies, and boolits for the above 25 Krag with no gun. I contacted Bullberry and they said they could not find the reamer at the reamer rental places - I assume they looked, don't know the company. They did intimate that they would make me the barrel given a reamer.
Soo ... anyone know where one might be? Need to have one made ($$?)?

There is no 'right' that requires me to work for you or you to work for me!
4D Reamer Rental does list the 25 Krag Ackley.
I just returned their e-mail asking if they had checked with Dave!

Wayne,
You have an PM.
Thanks.
When I need specialty reamers I just call Clyde or Dave at Manson and have them make one. Nothing they can't make.
Got a .22 .30 .32 .357 .38 .40 .41 .44 .45 .480 or .500 S&W cylinder that needs throats honed? 9mm, 10mm/40S&W, 45 ACP pistol barrel that won't "plunk" your handloads? 480 Ruger or 475 Linebaugh cylinder that needs the "step" reamed to 6° 30min chamfer? Click here to send me a PM You can also find me on Facebook Click Here.
I'm surprised that Bulberry doesn't have those reamer rentals on priority speed dial. Also regarding availability, ReamerRentals.com has been unavailable for me on previous reamer rentals but available the next day so perhaps its matter of getting the reamer back in the mail, inspected and ready for the next renter also.
I Cast my Boolits, Therefore I am Happy.
