6.5-284 freebore?

[4xforfun]

Another new for me caliber ? I ordered a 6.5 tube ..Krieger HV 1-8 twist, 31". I have decided to go with this caliber since I have 1000 140 grain target VLD's just sitting here, along with a bunch of H4831sc and H4350.

Talked to my smith about his reamer recomendations. He has a .140ish and a .190ish .297 reamer in his drawer. He said he personaly didn't have much luck at 1K with the .190 freebore as a compeditor. I did some searches on the subject and it is kind of split.

My use is going to be LR steel in a BAT "M" single shot, single feed setup, so there are no OAL restrictions.

Anyone have any recomendations on reamer specs?

Find out what shoots the best in a 6.5x47L and compare it to the 6.5/284... That may help some.. I have some 140gr Hybrids I can set into a 6.5/284 case and give you an over all measurement to the point the base is above the body area.. I don't know if you would care about the hybrid measurement though???
