Help me spec a 6BR reamer

[KenOath]

Ill reply to your posts in order...

- if my neck inst tight, why wouldn't a bullet drop freely into a fired case?

- i have 3 lots of berger hybrids currently and they all measure from .2434-.2436, from other experiences ive heard this is common

- I always have to wonder why folks think an extra .001 of expansion in the neck is going to shorten brass life when a lot of folks are out here blowing 6BR cases into dasher without brass life issues. I am not in the camp of thinking that expanding my brass an extra .001 is going to have a meaningful impact on brass life.

-.244 freebore diameter is what was recommended to me by alex wheeler, i am not convinced .0001 in either direction makes all that big a difference.

- I agree, i don't plan on having a reamer spec'd to 0 freebore for other customers. If i have to pay for a reamer to get the specs i want, they can too. My reamer will be cutting my barrels and returning home when its done.

FB diameter .2436-.2438-.244,,, you won’t go wrong with any of these. The reason I went .244 is in the discipline I shoot I can run 100+ rounds down tube in the one day without cleaning so that very tiny extra bit of space gives me a little more reassurance.. Reamer tolerances would probably make the deabate null and void anyhow. And also a few top shooters and smiths recommended a ,244 including Alex Wheeler...I’ve no regrets...

I could explain each of these to you but based on your responses to me and everyone else who has tried to help you it would obviously be a waste of my time. Despite starting off with "I dont know much about reamers or what aspects are important to specify so any guidance would be appreciated" you've decided you know more than those of us who have been shooting that specific cartridge chambered with a number of different reamers for many years.

Good luck to you. I hope your magic reamer is everything you envision and may all of your 105 Hybrids fall free into the neck of a fired case since that seems to be something you've decided is important. And may all your future barrels show no throat wear after 900 plus rounds.

Now where that ignore button.....

I’m not sure why the attitude, or Why you’re perceiving one from me... But I read over my post and I can not find where I may have offended you.

Nothing but good intent here so I apologize if I did.

Edit: I have no idea why I’m apologizing to you, it’s only on the Internet that I find shooters that can’t handle hearing someone else’s opinion without throwing a tantrum. This thread is likely better off without your massive, yet frail, ego.

Thanks for the input without taking offense, this is the kind of response I intended to the solicit. I shoot PRS, so it is not uncommon for me during a 2 day match to shoot 200 rounds without cleaning, and that was in line with my thinking when Alex reccomended .244

The .244 won’t hold you back..
