[QUOTE="swampdog112, post: 1122598, member: 86067"] I'm beginning a long range lightweight hunting rifle build... I've been kicking around the idea of a 6.5 SAUM 4s for the past week or so but finally decided I didn't want to buy a rifle I couldn't get factory brass for. I could always neck down 300 SAUM but I would have to neck turn and as of now, I'm not set up to do that. I finally decided on the 6.5x284 Norma and started ordering parts this week. Now on to the reamer... I've been reading up on this cartridge and it seems like there are a lot of variations. I got on the PTG website and saw there are about a 1/2 dozen versions of the 6.5x284 reamer on their website. I want to run the 140 VLD or the 140 amax and i'd like seat them long enough for ideal case capacity. I've also heard that I want a 1 degree throat for these long, high bc bullets? Lastly, I want a no turn neck as I would like to avoid that extra step. I just want to make sure to ask my gunsmith for the correct reamer Any help would be greatly appreciated! [/QUOTE]
