Best reamer specs for 6.5x47 Lapua anyone?

[6.5BR]

I know there are different spec'ed ones, assume most use for 123-130s..

What's the latest concensus for Freebore? What neck diameter for a no neck turn?

.160" freebore / .294" neck = fantastic results with 123 gr. / 130 gr. projectiles


This one should work fine

I'm going to be using 130 gr for mine, can some explain exactly what a "free bore" is. Thanks!

Freebore is just that, it is the area ahead of the bullet in a rifle barrel to which there is no rifling. Once the cartridge is fired the bullet travels freely in the barrel until the bullet contacts the rifling, hence freebore.

Okay that's what I thought, but I'll still be able to jam or jump .01?
