I had a reamer made up for the .40-72/82 made by Manson to correct a bad factory Browning chamber. Sorry but I lost the drawing with a blue screen crash so I cant give you the dimensions for it. It is almost like the Rhoades .40-82 except it has a 4 degree/1.5 compound lead instead of the 45/3 degree compound lead.
When I dressed up the bad chamber I only had to go slightly deeper then the .40-65 so I don't have to trim the .45-70 brass making it about like a .40-72 but I could make it a .40-82 with out a problem if I wanted to go this rout.
The rifle shoots so well as it is I don't see a reason to go to the 82.
