Been trying to read all the info for my upcoming re build of my rifle. I cant seem to make any real headway on a spec for my 6.5x47L using 130 hybrid or other 130 pills. Does anyone have 100% insight for which reamer may be best for 130 hybrid or eldm?

Yt?
 
No 100% insight, but here is a pic of the Berger 130 gr hunt VLD seated .010 jammed with a .123 reamer done by LRI. If you think you may go to 140 gr pills. you may want a little more freebore. The 130s shoot great and going to 120s would not be a problem with .123.

100% will not be using 140. Im gonna be running 20" version this go round so gonna drop back to a 130 to gain small amount my fps loss back vs my current 24"/140 setup
 
I am running the 130s at 2940 fps with RL15, but that is with six more inches of stick. Never could get H4350 to shoot as consistently as RL15.
I run 139 scenar with RL15 at 2750fps and get amazing accuracy out to 800m First shot cold bore accuracy up to 10mph direct crosswind easily 1moa out to 300m. I also shoot the 123scenar near 3000fps but it is not as stable and predictable at longer range as the bigger brother
