6.5x284 reamer specs

I notice a number of 6.5x284 reamers set at .297 neck and 180 FB . What bullet is this type of reamer designed for. I assume that neck would be minimum for a no turn lapua brass. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thinking of building one for the new Nosler long range 140 gr for a hunting rifle.
 
I just loaded and fired some 142 ABLR in mine today. With my freebore the bullets were seated to 3.130 COL. I have a long action so this isn't a problem. My neck is .298" (supposedly) Could be .297". It works out pretty good for no-turn. I do have to turn the 284 brass sometimes.

I mostly have been shooting 130 Norma Diamonds in it but wanted to try the new ABLR with fairy dust on them.

Can't say I am impressed with them at this point.
