My gunsmith called me up this morning to ask what neck size reamer for a new build. This is a bench rest, heavy barrel bolt gun and I was thinking .292 for a very lightly turned neck. The problem is, he only has a .294 and .290 reamer. I told him .290 and now I'm wondering how is the brass life with the neck turned down to .287ish? (wall thickness in the .011" range) My thought was, I can always ream up but its about $650 to ream down.  (new barrel/labor)Anyone with some experience with turned neck 6.5X47's that could chime in? Thanks. Viper SS 28" Brux SS 1ΒΌ Straight |
