I am looking for anyone that has used this particular reamer, what is your overall length with both the 140 Berger hybrid and 140 ELD-M?

Thanks

Same reamer specs as yours:

I have notes that say a 140 Nosler RDF is 2.172" with a .264 Hornady comparator when touching the lands on a new chamber.

I have another note that 2.75" base to tip on a 140 ELD is touching the lands.

130 ELD was 2.170 with .264 Hornady comparator touching the lands.
 
I would bet yours is correct. I have a 6.5x47 chambered by someone else with a .150 freebore and it sets the 140 eld out further than the .167 freebore. Hard to explain that one!
