Yep, that's exactly how it should fit. The reamer shank is tapered and the socket in the spindle is also tapered so that the one centers in the other and is gripped tightly. If there is any wobble when the reamer is seated as far it will go then there is a problem. The cross hole in the spindle is to allow you the push the reamer back out again. If the reamer seated much deeper then it would limit the access for pushing it back out again. Here is one of mine for comparison. -

Another Question. Does this reamer look like it fits the reamer plunger? This one and all the others feel like they should push in all the way. Are they made like that so they don't turn or move when reaming a hole? Thanks. Frank -
Yes, it "should", but there was no way to get the springs out of my cal 627 without bending them. The ends were too big for the slots in the chaton. Whether they left the factory like that, or someone fitted new springs ..... 🥴
