6.5X47L neck diameter

[alinwa]

Can someone please post the neck diameter and clearance of a no-turn 6.5X47L?

Or the neck diameter of a loaded round? An un-turned round pls?

If you ask Kiff for a no turn reamer you'll get a 0.295" neck, but I've got loaded rounds here with 130 Bergers and they measure 0.290" plus or minus 0.0005".
Hope that helps.

I have a 6.5x47L Chambered with a PTD Kiff Reamer. No Turn Neck and it is .294. At least that is what the chamber reamer print says.

I have built a lot of these with a .293nk, unturned Lapua brass once loaded comes in at .290 +/- half a thou.

Thanks. I spec'd a reamer today at .292 based on the information in this thread

What freebore did you spec?

.060

Thinking about building one to shoot the 147ELD, was going to order zero throat and a separate throating reamer but rather not. I wonder what the oal would look like with that bullet and .060 fb. I don't have any in hand yet.

I do exactly that with all my 6mm, 30 and 50cal setups.....order them at zero and throat to fit, but in the case of the 6.5 I intend to only shoot long bullets and went with .060 on Dave Kiff's recommendation.
