I have not seen any press on this one in a long time. I think I have a drawing.
You might check over on Accurate Reloading, lots of guys there play with old chamberings.

Is Ken Waters still alive...contact him via Wolfe Publishing see if he still has the reamer.
Why do I have it in the back of my mind that Waters is in bad health for so me years,

www.reamerrentals.com used to rent Pacific reamers. I don't know if they are still operation or not.
An e-mail to Dave Kiff would find out. Maybe they've got one in obseletes or old stock for cheap?
www.pacifictoolandgauge.com , I think is their address.

Ken Waters, one of my all time favorite writers, has been dead many years. Sorry.

Hey Tom, actually I believe that Ken is still around, and in his 90s.
Stopped into a smith in the Danbury CT area who had done quite a bit of work for him. Sure enough, there was their pic together, a rifle in the shop for repair was his, etc.
Unless something has happened in the past few 6 months or so, he is still around.
I was surprised too. Apparantly he stops into the shop from time to time.
The name of the smith if I remember correctly is Richie Ruggerio. If I can find his card I will attach the # as he has been doing chambering for him for some time.
Tom

Is this the cartridge? Based on 444 Marlin.

You can always have Dave Kiff (Pacific Tool & Gauge) or Dave Manson (Loon Lake Precision) grind a reamer.
