Anybody have a screamin 6.5x47 print?

Looking for something with .004-.005 neck clearance and a freebore around .170.

Not looking to buy just advice.

140 Hybrids are the intention. I dropped my reamer some years ago. Sad day, over it now.

Lapua brass, by the way. No Alpha.

My chambers were all 0.168 freebore and a 0.293 neck. No complaints and I wouldn’t change a thing. If you’re looking for 0.004-0.005 clearance instead of 0.003, they you’ll want a 0.294 or 0.295 for the Lapua and Peterson lots I have.

How does it shoot?

I’m looking for a print number that’s shot well on the long run.

Thank you

It’s Jim Borden’s reamer and across 3 barrels, they all shot less than 4” at 1000 in BR - very competitive.

Talking to top gunsmiths, individual reamers are sometimes just blessed. Two reamers made to the same print and one will consistently make more winning chambers.

Oh of course, but some of them just suck 100% of the time too haha. Do you have a print number or is it his secret?

He’s been on vacation, but may still answer my email. I’ll check.
