6.5x47 Freebore?

BP1

I have one 6.5x47 being built right now with a .150 freebore and .295 neck for my son.I just got on the waiting list for the new BigHorn Tl3 and I am going to chamber it also in 6.5x47 the smiths reamer has a .175 freebore will this much freebore be to much to run the 130s these rifles will be used only for PRS type shooting and matches thanks.
 
I don't think the extra .025" length will be an issue with respect to being too long.. But what it will do for you is a possible edge in velocity should you chose to squeeze the last bit out of the case.
 
Patch thanks that's what I was hoping for would like to squeeze all the speed that I can as long as accuracy stays good and if I want to run 140s I can.
