I would like to to ream both of my Vaquero cylinder throats to a uniform measurement. I started looking at the reamers available and found that the 2 different manufacturers of the reamers (PTG & Manson) make them in 2 different diameters, .4525" and .4545". I would think that .4545 would be too big, but if so why do they make it in this size and what size reamer is truly the best. I have found all types of conflicting reports and opinions on this and would love it if someone could clarify this for me.
I have already flex-honed the cylinders with 400 and 800 grit hones, and they all measure right around .4510" to .4515". I don't want to spend they extra money for these reamers if I don't have to, but I want to squeeze the most accuracy out of these great revolvers and do it right the first time. Any help would be greatly appreciated and I look forward to hearing from all of you.
