another 308 reamer ?

Looking for reamer specs for the 185 Jugg and possible 200gr Berger. What size neck/ free bore are you using? The brass I use is Lapua Palma turned to .0145" for a good clean-up. Current reamer used has a .3412" neck and .168" free bore. Loaded rounds have over .004" clearance. Which seems a lot to me. What do you think ? Have things changed at since these specs have be around ? This is for a F TR rifle.
Thanks again
 
What you have is just fine. It is functionally identical to the 2013 US FTR team reamer (actually a little tighter in the neck). You aren't shooting benchrest; we play this game down in the dirt - stuff gets blown into the chamber, etc. A little clearance around the neck is not an issue. The freebore diameter is probably .3085" (most .308 match reamers are), which is what counts. Don't mess with what works.
