6.5 Creedmoor Reamer Help?

[Lucky7]

I am thinking of having a barrel chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor for one of my SA actions that is magazine fed with a COAL of 2.850". I would like to shoot the 140 - 147 grain bullets in this rifle but need help with what reamer specs will be best. I don't mind turning necks so was thinking of going with a .295" neck but not sure how much freebore I need? Any recommendations on reamer specs would be great. Thank you in advance.

.190-.200" FB will keep the 140-142gr bearing surface within the neck completely up to 0.025" off the lands. I use a reamer at 0.199" from Manson.

Ok, that is great information. One of the reamer manufacturers was recommending .188" which I thought was too much so I am glad to hear that you agree with the longer FB. Thank you.
