Lapua 221 Fireball Brass…Reamer choice?

20 TAC

Silver $$ Contributor
Did not want to hijack current thread on Lapua Fireball brass so started this one. Getting close to having a rifle chambered in 221 Fireball and I will be using strictly Lapua brass for this rifle. I seem to remember reading where Lapua Fireball brass is sized a bit larger than the Remington offering…particularly in the neck. So the question is: Does anyone have or know of a reamer/reamer print designed around the Lapua 221 Fireball brass, or would a SAAMI reamer be adequate? Looking for a no turn neck but don’t want excessive case neck expansion when firing (.003-.004” would be awesome).
0 freebore would be even better but realize the SAAMI won’t offer that.

Any help or guidance offered is much appreciated!
 
I had PT&G make me a reamer their match reamer with a .250 neck I still have to do a light neck turn and zero free bore . The gun is a Savage 12 with a Brux barrel 1;14 TWIST . First and third time out all shot at 100 yds . And I'm using Lapua Fireball brass.
