Going to order a new reamer soon for some new barrels. Currently shooting a .262 chamber and I'm find with turning brass. What size neck do you guys like and why ? I'd like to hear some input

262 45fb Henriksen reamer. When I got into the 6ppc I asked Sid Goodling if he could order me a reamer that he would get for himself. It has worked out great, so I can't see any reason to change anything.

I’m running a 268 nk. Pretty sure Bart was shooting a .273 no turn at nationals and he did pretty well, lol. In my limited experience and knowledge I’d say the .200 line is probably more important than the neck diameter. Plenty of records have been shot with all kinds of neck diameters but clickers suck.
Greg I agree 100% about clickers. .268 what I was leaning towards neck wise

I ordered a reamer recently and went with the .268. (haven't received it yet) I'm new to this whole benchrest thing but it seemed like the popular diameter these days. You can get the necks turned in one pass since your not removing as much material.
What diameter at the 0.2" line are people liking these days?

I like fat butts!
.442 minimum and I prefer closer to .4425.
A lot is die dependent, but too big causes far fewer headaches than too small. A few years back, it was pretty common for a while that people were spec'ing reamer as close as possible to virgin brass. There's no upside and it caused sizing problems..clickers.

It happens when your die doesn’t size the case enough at the base( .200 line). It causes hard extraction which in turn upsets the gun in the bags and slows you down. The fix is a die with a tighter base or a reamer with a larger diameter at .200 up from the base.

I have a new reamer coming with a .273 neck and with the size of Lapua I'll still have to skim the necks about .015 to about .01345 to get a .270 loaded round with Barts Avengers that run .2431 leade is 1.510, should be getting it in the next week or so. Fingers crossed.

Yes, I screwed up there, I should have gone .442 but ended up .4413
Just me...I'd go .4423 or so. You won't regret it. No accuracy gained or lost here, IME. Clickers suck and yes, they hurt accuracy from a handling standpoint, if you get the clicker syndrome. Depends a lot on the dies you probably already have. We can only split .001 so many times and probably won't see any difference for most of those times. Tighter is sometimes worse, rather than better and brass is only virgin...once.. Bigger carbs and cams had to be better, right? Lol!

That is the reason I went to a .268 and now ordered a .274 6PPC reamer now that Lapua has decided their brass needs to be thicker in the neck. I'll still skim (maybe).

When ordering your first reamer. along with going a little fatter at the 200 line. I like 4415 there
also consider the freebore diameter
depending on the bullet you plan to use
my bullets are a little fat so my freebore diameter is 2437
