Does anyone have a reamer I could rent?   
Looks like I can get one from 4D if not.   
Thanks
Bob

Ballards may be weaker,
but they sure are neater!

Other than case length (1.16" vs. 1.03" Long Colt) a .38 Special reamer will work fine. You can ream to depth and then cut the rim, or better yet just ream it to .38 Special and use those cases to reload the .38 Long Colt.

Thanks Vall, I was aware of that option but would like to run a reamer in and be done.  I don’t have a 38 special reamer either so I figure I just as well find what I want.
