What is loaded neck diam on a 6.5x284 w unturned Lapua brass? Thank You. Gonna order a reamer
 
I don't have any to measure as I turn mine for a tight neck chamber but going on memory it seems like .296. This is on the older gold box stuff. You might want to ask your reamer supplier his opinion.
 
I have some not-yet-fired 6.5x284 Lapua brass loaded with Berger 140 target, and my diameter is .2930.

Thanks,
Ted
 
The PTG Norma match reamer is perfect for non-neck turned Lapua. I've had 9 barrels with this chamber and every single one shoots 48.4-48.8gr H4350 under a 142SMK .015" off into tiny knots. Shoots very, very well at 1k.
