I know this has been hashed out before, but it's been awhile and there may be some new info on this.

Ordering a reamer for a 6.5 284 Norma. Shooting Lapua brass with the necks cleaned up about 90% which gives me a .293 loaded neck. I could easily turn them 100% and get a .292 loaded neck instead. Want to shoot 147's really, but will probably plan freebore around a 140 Berger VLD instead to be on the safe side. Not a ton of BTO difference in the two.

Please post up with specific reamers that are working well for you on either Bergers or the 147 ELD M's.

Thanks!
 
I just use my 6.5 x .284 Winchester finish reamer and a separate throating reamer to cut the throat. I had the neck diameter of the reamer altered for a no turn neck with Lapua Brass (.0025"- .003" clearance).
