CIP reamer for the 5,6x57. I would be fine with a 224 TTHA but I have the brass and dies already for the 5,6x57.

Manson. I've worked with Ray, who works there, on a remar and he's an incredibly helpful guy. Never fails to respond to questions through email. I can't imagine better customer service than he's given me.

I haven't got a jgs reamer, but hear they are top notch also.

That’s a very difficult cartridge to work with, think carefully before you throw a lot of money at it, the very thick neck, and shoulder angle tends to give trouble

Ray has called me on Sunday even. He really is a solid guy.

I already work with it. In an old Steyr.

It spits fire, lightning. Barrel is ok.

Came with a lot of components so I did it.

The neck sucks is super thick, but it is what it is.

Have a lifetime of stuff for it. So why not.

Going to build a 2nd gun when I get back, but I am going to use the same CIP chamber.

I might build a 224 TTHA when I get back to see if that is worth the squeeze.

Manson is top notch. Their reamers always cut nice and smooth and are not prone to vibration, even when razor sharp new.

Lead times are sometimes a bit long, but the reamers are really good.

Haven't used JGS myself so I can't comment on their performance, but a lot of great smiths use their reamers aswell.
