6.5x47 Reamer suggestions

[bbarber25]

Getting another barrel ready for my 6.5x47 Lapua, looking to buy a reamer. I'm looking specifically for one to shoot the 140gr Berger Hybrid. I'm not sure what freebore to go with and Neck diameter. I do not want to have to turn necks. Any one have suggestions on a good reamer to go with to maximize case capacity and shooting well with this bullet?

Thanks in advance!

I bought the off the shelf PTG reamer from Bullets.com. Gun shoots great.

I would personally contact JGS and they will get you squared away. Very good customer service and a great product. Can't go wrong with Manson either, very good as well.

I would do .175 free bore and .294-295 on the neck.

I just used my 6.5x47L reamer from JGS with 0.175 fb and 0.2945 neck and it works perfectly. Both rifles shoot the 140's and everything else amazing.

.295 for a no-turn 160-180 on the freebore.

Henriksen tool company, 541 535 2309, Hugh was recommended to me by Jim Borden, his work is very good, and when Tubb used to shoot a traditional bolt gun before he shot a gas gun, Borden built his rifles and he used Hughs reamers. .293nd 120thou free bore, Allows you to load 140s right down to, above, the case shoulder neck junction, of course you can also shoot 123s, just move them out a little. Min. Sammi spec chamber, 1:30 lead angle. I neck turn my brass, just to do a light clean up. But if you choose not to just go wider on the neck diameter.

I've had a .120 freebore and in my opinion it's too short for the Lapua 136's and hybrids. I ended up having it extended .040 and that is the shortest I'd go for those two bullets.

Hugh Henrikson is building one for me now. It has the .167 throat but it's a tighter neck(.291).

Should have it in a month or so.

Ended up ordering a .296” NK and .170 FB from JGS
