I like to order a new reamer for my 7 mm Remington magnum. My question is how much free bore should I have for the 162gr hornady A-MAX bullet.

Re: Getting a new reamer
Ask for Dave Kiff at Pacific Tool and Gauge (I am away from my cell so the # is not handy) and ask him what he recommends and order whatever he recommends. Dave is extremely knowledgeable and will talk to anyone with question, an all round great guy.
Ignore Dave at your own peril, I did not listen to him once and I ended up turning necks for a rifle that I wanted to be no-turn. Now I tell him what I want and listen to him.

Re: Getting a new reamer
Do what Wade says. Another option is to make up two dummy rounds with your bullet of choice seated where you want and send them to Kiff. He will make a reamer to your specs and the freebore will be right on.
