Freebore for 6.5 Creedmoor

[Fulvio]

I have been shooting 7mm for both mid and long range competitions. Now that Lapua is making brass for the 6.5 Creedmoor, I want to try it for mid range.
What freebore spec should I use to order the reamer?
I plan to shoot the Berger 140 hybrid and generally I jam 0.010" to 0.015".
Thanks

Call Dave at pacific tool and gauge, he probably knows and can make one for you

Run a .175in. You may not be able to feed from a magazine though.

Standard spec is .199". This allows using a 140 hybrid at 0.025" off the lands and just fits in (less than 0.010" clearance) in an AICS mag. If I was set on running jammed, I would have the freebore at .175-.180" as Grimstod suggested.

Edit- the above statement assumes you are mag loading. If dedicated as a single shot set-up, the standard reamer spec (.199") will still give plenty of bearing surface in the neck.

Thanks to all. I shoot from single shot Panda action. I have ordered the reamer with .199" FB as suggested.
