Problems reloading 9mm for new kimber

JJFitch · Jun 29, 2020

Glad to hear of your decision to get a finish reamer that can be used to "uniform" all your 9mm barrels.

There are other forum threads discussing some Kimbers with tight/short chambers that may have missed the finish reamer step!

Smiles,

Super, got a response from kimber a few hours after I did the barrels.

They suggested I send in Just the new gun to see if the barrel is out of spec since my wife's sapphire is out of the 1 year warranty term. Said if its within their spec they would just send it back.

Looks like I did the right thing buying the reamer.

That was my reasoning for getting the throater reamer. I figured with the chamber in specs, they may not touch it.
Hornady 147 gr. Signature ammo would in no way pass the plunk test before in the barrel.

Can you give us some details on the reamer, such as part number and where you got it?

You will have download their product list. Look in the section called Throaters.

It’s pretty ridiculous that it won’t shoot factory ammo. You pay 800.00 for a gun and can’t be sure it it will shoot factory ammo in it reliably. ...

That mirrors my initial thoughts preeee-cisely.

T35p from brownells is what I bought.
