Ive a few questions. I just recived a 243 "match" reamer from ptg for lapua brass. It has .148 freebore.Can some one maybe tell me what over all length would be with a 115 vld and a 115 dtac to touch the lands? When I ordered I wanted overall length to be 2.825 ish with the dtac and .148 fb seems a little long sso im wondering if I need to send it back and have it reground . Also if you have a set up like this can you tell me your free bore length. Thanks

You are about .100" too long for the 115 Berger. Don't know about the Dtac.
