6mm BR no turn reamer suggestions

[Shynloco]

Handlebar,
If I were in your shoes, I'd call Dave Kiff at Pacific Tool and Gauge and discuss with him what you want in which rifle and for what purpose. He can get you started on getting the right reamer(s) for the right job and caliber. As tn6br points out above, he runs a freebore to accommodate both the longer 105's as well as the 68;s. I run a freebore of .045 because I shoot strictly 66-68gr FB bullets and shoot only 100 yds. Dave made all my reamers and they have turned out beautifully and produce excellent results downrange on my targets when I do my part.

I have a dumb question that piece of brass on the left don't look like the neck is long enough for a 6mmbr pics are deceiving sometimes.

you are correct, it was cut short to use with a chamber length gauge so it only made sense to use it for this test as well.

Thanks I thought I was going to have to get new glasses I like the 6mmbr case an thought it look a little short thanks sir.

howdy everyone. I need a no turn reamer suggestion for 6mm BR. I got a bonus from my job and am converting it into toys ASAP
I am having a few rifles built and in the interest of keeping my brass interchangeable
And tuning easy I am considering buying my own reamer for all the chambers. One rifle will be a PRS type repeater, one will be a heavy build for fun/paper punching. and I might make a lightweight hunting repeater build also. I’ve heard that a .2705 neck reamer might work with the new Lapua Brass, but I also have heard people suggesting .272 for a no turn. Barrels will be 1:8.5 and 1:8 most likely. I would like to run some fancy lighter flat based bullets for in close and also be able to run some boat tail stuff for longer ranges. I will probably try out some lapua factory ammunition as well so a chamber that works well with that would be great.

I decided to go with a no neck turn chamber cut by Jim Borden in a 1 in 14" twist Hart. Using Lapua brass with less than .001 turned to make everything 100% consistent I shot the following 5 shot group. I also had Jim Borden chamber a Bartlein barrel in a 1 in 8" twist with a no neck turn chamber. Haven't even shot that one yet.

I went with PTG and my reamer for the 6BR is .272 / .110 with a 1:8 twist to shoot 105s and 107s.
