For those with experience chambering the 6x45 in bolt rifles, what is the recommended free bore for med heavy projectiles such as the 95 TMK and 95 SMK? Maybe the 87 V-Max too. PTG stocks reamers for this chambering with .045 free bore but that seems short. I've read elsewhere that .065 is ideal for 95 gr bullets. I want to run an OAL of 2.50" to fit in MDT magazines (2.55"). Suggestions and Experiences appreciated !
