Gunsmithing 6mm Comp Match Freebore?

Can anyone tell me what the SAAMI freebore dimension is for the 6mm Competition Match?

I don't think you are going to get an answer because I don't believe SAAMI ever adopted any standards for the wildcat 6mm Competition Match. Now if you were to ask what freebore people may be using with this cartridge you might get more answers. It's also somewhat of a proprietary cartridge so detailed information may be limited.

Get with Chad Dixon [MENTION=36021]LongRifles, Inc.[/MENTION] He has a reamer for it and has chambered quite a few of them. Or get with [MENTION=50185]Big Toby[/MENTION] here on the site and he can more than likely get you the info you need.

The reamer is not proprietary anymore. Joe Hendricks (cartridge designer) gave his blessing within the last year to Dave Kiff at PTG to let the reamer go to whoever wanted one built. Chad is gonna do one for me, so really I'm interested in the freebore on his reamer. I called their shop the other day, and they weren't able to give me an exact number. They are so swamped with work I didn't want to bug them with pulling the drawing and giving me the actual number. Joe Hendricks current reamer has freebore just over .100" while his original design was about .060" of freebore. I would like my chamber cut with the newer reamer as I have no intention of running anything other than the 115's out of the gun. If anyone has had a chamber cut by Chad's reamer can they chime in?
