    Pointer needed to ream straight wall cases

    I found this article

    https://mdws.forumchitchat.com/post/...-walls-8072240



    and I want to duplicate that for 458x1.5 cases.

    Problem is I'm not entirely sure what I'm looking at.

    I'd like to do this with a straight chucking reamer and a drill press. I've worked out that I can use a 0.452" reamer on a case that's been sized in a 375H&H sizer, and it's cheap to buy.

    Any advice or info on reaming out cut down belted magnum cases using reamer in a drill press will be appreciated.

    Addendum :

    The chamber reamer measures 0.485" across the case mouth, so I'm assuming the chamber is at least that.

    The brass wall is 20 thou thick at the 1.5" cutoff point.

    A .459 bullet plus 40 thou doesn't fit in the chamber.

    A sized case measures 0.469" at the mouth, so I think I can use a .452 reamer on the case held in the [ cut down ] sizing die.
