[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 1481767, member: 24284"] Sounds to me, because of the choices PacNor offered you for freebore, that they have 2 reamers for the 6.5x284. One for the .6.5 x 284 Winchester, and the other for the 6.5 x 284 Norma. Any time you are looking to load to a specific OAL you need to provide a dummy round, so that the chamber can be cut to that specific length (freebore, throat and all). That can be done with either a throating reamer or by having a chambering reamer made to your specifications. Not all who chamber, the barrel makers or an independent gunsmith, are going to have the reamer with the specs you want, in their tool box. That would just be cost prohibitive. [/QUOTE]
