Reamer question - 6 creed (115 dtac)

Not smart of reamers…not sure what to search for with regards to freebore.

Question is, if I just use SAAMI specs, with throat erosion, if I need to switch to say 105’s down the road, they’re now jumping a mile, no?

I’ve got about 3k 115s stored up, so would like to get this throated specifically for the 115.

Any suggestions on freebore? Neck size also, with Lapua brass?

Thanks for humoring the noob
 
Make a couple dummy rounds ( No primers or powder) seat the bullets where you want them and send it to your favorite reamer maker. They will figure out what you need for FB Do you want a no turn neck or a turned neck? You want +.003 on neck diameter
 
A 0.120" freefore is what I use in my Dasher. I shoot the 115 DTACs primarily but also shoot the 105 and 115 Bergers. My best load ever was jumping the 115 DRACs somewhere around 120 thousandths. I shot 3-shot groups measuring less than an inch at 1k several times with it. The extra jump, if there is any isn't necessarily a problem and may surprise you.
