25 creedmoor freebore advice wanted

I have a good buddy who has went all out buying parts for a 25 creedmoor build. He didn’t think about the reamer and the bullets he’s wanting to shoot so I told him I’d ask around on here.
He will only use it to hunt game and occasionally shoot steel out to 600 with copper bullets it’s all he will buy and all he will shoot up to 100gr. We’re wanting to know if a 90-100gr copper bullet will reach the lands. Neither of us is real keen on how to measure what would possibly be a close or correct freebore reamer.
So far He’s talked to ptg and Manson they didn’t sound confident the reamers they had would let that bullet get to the lands. Also I’ll add we have found .115, .150, and .180 freebore reamers available. Thanks guys.

He’s not dead set on a 25 creedmoor so if there is any other 25 cal options with a standard freebore that would accommodate those bullets throw that out there.

Not sure if this helps but I think my 131 Blackjack Reamer is .131 freebore. It's designed for the 131 BJ( Sierra) bullets. Works great for the 134 ELDM and 133/135 Bergers.

Slightly different caliber and application but I am running a 6GT on a .180 freebore.

Alpha reamers offers the 25 Creedmoor with a .150 or .180 freebore. I would likely go with the .150 on a Creedmoor as mag length comes into play with the Creedmoor (not an issue on the GT).

I am running 135 Berger Hybrids.
