Reaming Revolver Cylinder (need someone)

[Falconpuch]

Hello!

Have a new Ruger Vaquero the cylinder for 45 colt and 45 acp are both tight and I need someone or a kit that I can use to ream out the cylinders to .4525. I'd rather have a professional do it since I don't want to ruin the revolver. Does anyone know of someone.

Thanks!

New Ruger, send it back.
Hell, if it was 30 yrs old Ruger would take care of you

This, Ruger will prob just exchange the defective cylinder for a new one.

If you look up cast boolits for Ruger convertible, ruger sends these with tight tolerances. Ruger won't ream them for reloading purpose since factory ammo fits fine. I found someone out of state that is very well known reaming for a great price.

I can get my plated rounds to fit but I cast for ever caliber I own. This is just something that if you look it up that everyone runs into with New Blackhawks and vaquero convertibles
