So a guy on another forum got me to thinking about this hairbrained, wildcat idea... He actually built it, and has a functioning version of the idea, which I would like to replicate. For the ammo, he used once fired .223 brass, cut to the shoulder, and 9mm (.355) flat nose projectiles. The bullets can be used in standard polymer mags, and he claims feed very reliably. My thought at the moment is on the chamber reaming. I know an 8mm taper pin reamer produces the identical taper and diameter (if you stop cutting at the right depth) as a 9mm round, a .223 case has approximately .020" of taper, if cutting off the neck, and basically creating a 9mm magnum round (or call it .357 AR max, or .355 magnum or whatever you decide to call it) is there any reamer that will match this taper? Say, if a guy wanted to build 3 or 4... I know I could make a D reamer, but was hoping to find a more suitable (repeatable) tool. Thanks for any input or suggestions!
