I have one 9mm that requires much shorter handloads than all the other. It is a fun little gun but not being able to shoot everything through it is a pain in the ass.
I have looked at renting a reamer for $50-$60 bucks.
Does anyone have one I could rent or borrow? Or know a smith that can cut it for less than the cost to rent one.
It's not 9mm Makarov, is it? Those are a tad shorter than 9mm Luger.

CZ.
From what I have read they are very tightly chambered.
If I am even using the correct nomenclature.
The same bullet loaded at 1.140" needs to be 1.080" in this gun to pass the plunk and twist test.
So maybe that is the throat and not the chamber?

You need to cut the throat, not the chamber. I have a reamer if you need it. I did my Czechmate and a few other guns by hand as it doesn't take a lot of effort.

Yes, after more reading, throat not chamber. I knew what needed trimming, I just misnamed it.
Linkless, I'd be happy to rent that thing from you for a week or so.
I am no stranger to precision tools having built many engines when I was a mechanic.
I'll send you a PM.
