How important is it to get exact size bushing for the reamer or is using the nominal one that comes with the reamer OK?

The way I would look at it is, a set of bushings I believe is $90 per caliber from PTG. How much is the barrel your cutting on?

Important enough for me to buy sets for every caliber from 17 to 50, including the tight bore stuff for barrels like Obermeyer.

Re: bushings for removable pilot reamers
Thanks Chad. I value your opinion. In a month or 2, I hope to send you my Stiller 338 action and a Krieger barrel for chambering. I built one a while back and have never really been satisfied with my groups. Plus my reamer which I loaned out now has a defect in it.

With that said - and I agree with the importance - don't forget that tens of thousands of chambers have been cut over the years with solid pilot reamers - just sayin'............
