New to rifle loading and 6mm Br

Greetings Folks, I am about to enter the world of 6MM Br and am looking for a few tips. I know these questions must have been asked before but I have not been able to find any information on reaming the flash holes. I will be using a,new)8 twist 28in Krieger barrel on a 700 Remington action. I am going to try Seirra's 107 hpbt for 600 yard. Have any of you folks been loading this? How has it worked for you? What other size bullets work well in this barrel? I have obtained a pile of new Lapua brass. What is there to reaming the flash hole so that all the brass is the same size. Makes sense but is it an accepted method and will it obtain good results? lastly, Must I size the new brass before loading? I have obtained a new Wilson seater and a K&M press but don't have the Redding resizing die yet. Some ware I read that a company called Harrell Bros. Make a good re sizer. Thanks for your help, buckshot
 
If you go to the 6mmBR FAQ page listed on the homepage most of your q's will be answered. After you absorb the FAQ's go to the reloading page and get the rest of the answers.

I am using the exact info supplied there: Forster FL sizing die custom honed to .266, 30gr Varget under an 80gr Berger that is .005 into the lands, BR4 primers, visual inspection of the primer hole, groups in the 3's and 4's in my Savage 112 single shot with a 12 twist SSS/Douglas bbl.
