Neck Reamer

Thick case necks can cause high chamber pressures and flyers. The Forster Neck Reamer mounts in the cutter of a Forster Case Trimmer in place of the pilot and removes the excess brass from the neck walls. The Forster Neck Reamer is manufactured from high grade, wear-resistant tool steel and ground .0025" to .003" over the maximum bullet diameter. The staggered tooth design cuts the brass smoothly without chattering.

Three important notes about using your Forster Neck Reamer:

• Neck reaming should only be performed after the cases have been fired with a full load and before the neck or full length sizing operation. Wall thickness can be measured with a tubing micrometer, but a simpler test for excess brass in the neck area is to slide a bullet into a fired, unsized case neck. If you feel interference, the neck should be reamed or outside neck turned.
  
  
• Use neck reamers before resizing. Three exceptions to this rule are the NR1220-.220" diameter reamer for .224" bullets; the NR1239-.239" diameter reamer for .243" bullets; and the NR4275-.4275" diameter reamer for .429" bullets. These are common sizes that reloaders use to ream their cases just before seating bullets. These three sizes are kept in stock for those who intend to ream after the sizing operation just before seating bullets.
  
  
• We grind many other special sizes as needed. Wildcatters often require specially sized reamers when converting brass from one caliber to another. You tell us the size you need and we'll grind it to your exact specifications. A nominal $10 special grinding fee applies. Our quick turnaround service adds a versatile case preparation tool to your Forster Case Trimmer System.
