Gunsmithing 6XC reamer

[ncboiler]

What is everyone using for a 6XC reamer for the 105 class bullets? What free bore?

I would guess you could get away with around 0.105-0.120", but it does vary with bullet (VLD, Hybrid, etc). Best thing is to call Dave Kiff (if you want a PTG reamer) and ask, he is usually very helpful and knowledgeable. I went with a 0.112" for my Dasher, which has a tad shorter neck. I am planning on using the 105 Hybrid.

I've been using a .0900 with the 105 Hybrids. They have all shot really well. All have been in the 1's or better during load work up. It's a great caliber.

Similar to the PTG reamer sold at Grizzly Tool then. PTG doesn't have any in stock

Yes it is.

I called Dave about two months back with the same questions and he said the one Grizzly has is a different leed angle for the 115 DTACS. He ground me a .275 neck 098 freebore 1-30 degree leed angle and it has worked great. With Norma brass and 105 Berger Hybrids the neck measured .271-.272.

I use the PTG reamer sold by Grizzly. It's worked very well so far (it is the Tubb reamer spec)
