Call Pacific Tool and Gauge in White City Oregon.

I have been buying chamber reamers from them for years, they make anything.

541-826-5808 Dave Kiff is Da Man.

They have a web site, google Pacific Tool and Gauge.

If ordering, have the measurements you want, on hand - or perhaps Dave will have a 'standard' for you. I too like Pacific Reamers, but have had good luck with Manson Reamers as well. I've used, but never bought a Clymer reamer, always going to Pacific for my custom made to order reamers. They are always right.

I'd also Talk to Dave Kiff at Pacific. The 8 bore will be a simle reamer to grind, I suspect, but will need a large 'bar' to start.

I have about 120 reamers in the collection: Clymer, Hartford, Redford, Manson, JGS, Keith Francis, Hendrickson, and Pacific Tool.

I rate Dave Kiff at Pacific Tool at the top. Trained by the master Keith Francis, pulled a stint at JGS, and now runs Pacific Tool. Only problem is Pacific has become so popular now that the demand is way up and delivery time has increased from back in the days when I did a lot of chambering. Most of my reamers are customs (snug chambers, tight necks, special throating, etc.) and Dave delivered to my specs. I love his service, I broke a new 243 HSS reamer on first use. Called Dave and he sent me a new carbide reamer at no cost, and overnight delivery to boot! He has my business for life.

Call Dave, have him fax or email a print, change the dimensions as you wish, send it back to him and he will grind accordingly.

I spoke with Dave at Pacific, he has done this in the past and I am in his que..
A very nice and knowledgeable man as well.
Thanks for the help
