I also looked at importing a Pacific Tool reamer. US$135 for the basic finish reamer, $35 postage, should be about OZ$230 landed and no US gov export permit hassles.
Now all I need is brass, bullets, dies etc etc....

Wanting a bit more performance than a 25-20 the chamber was taken out to 256 win mag and fitted to an action. It was scoped and shot ok with cases necked down from 357's. It never fired many rounds and was one of those do it because you can things just for interests sake as Martini's and parts were plentiful at the time. I seem to recall that the barrel was left hand twist for whatever reason. I still have the barrel if you are interested. Regards Malcolm.

I’m almost ready to send a prepped Martini action to Allan Swan for a 300 Blackout barrel fit.
Also keen on a 256 Win Mag , so I’m looking for feed back from anyone who has completed one. Allan has the reamer.
Cheers Shootaholic
