95 Palma Chamber in F-TR

[gsg5pk]

Do anyone has an experienced with using 95 Palma Chamber and additional throat like .150 fb to shoot heavier projectile like 185 gr?

I wonder that the 95 Palma chamber will capable with Unturned Lapua Brass?

The original 95 Palma chamber will capable to shoot factory ammo like FGMM 168 and FGMM 175 ?

It will work fine. I used it last year quite a bit.

Hi,
I got my F-TR reamer from PTG, but rifle is not finished yet.
Loaded un-turned Lapua neck measures .338", a lot of shooters say that .004" total neck clearance is optimal, so you need .341" or .342" neck. I will reload only and slightly turn necks, so I went with .340" neck.
I ordered .168" freebore to use "best 185 gr bullet", that is in my opinion Berger LRBT Juggernaut (BC=.560). With this set-up you will have approx. .150" of bearing surface in neck when touching lands. Bearing surface of those bergers is .360". With this set up you can use als Lapua 175 gr -L and 185 gr (should have more than .450" of bearing surface).
Using federal, you should have FB that is not longer that .088" (Bisley chamber), or bullets will jump a lot.
This chamber is OK also for mag length rounds.
Hope it helps you.

I have a 95 palma reamer and had it throated an additional .100 for 155 total. Just about right for the 175-200 grain bergers.
