Freebore for Berger 95 VLD

[marwitz89]

Can anyone tell me the optimum free bore for a Berger 95 VLD? I have a reamer currently with a .050 freebore that I would like to use.

I just bought a reamer with the same freebore , the 95 VLD's have a short bearing surface use it you should be good to go, base should be well in front of neck shoulder junction.

You will be fine with the 95 gr. Bergers and .050" freebore. .075" would be approaching "too much", and less would be short enough to put the base of the bullet on top of the donut.

Glad I read this, had a reamer on order for a 6x47L to shoot the 95s out of a 1-9 twist, had the freebore spec at .074, called today and had it shortened it up to .060,
