Short Freebore 7-6.5prc variant

[jsthntn247]

I have a short action and limited to 2.970 magazine length. I want to try a 7-6.5 Prc variant and want to use 150-168 grain bullets. Most of the reamers I’m seeing have a .200+ FB. Does anyone know someone with a shorter freebore reamer so folks can reach the lands and still mag feed without jumping bullets a mile?

Great question. Hope there is one

Best bet is to call Manson or JGS.

Blue Mountain precision offers 7/6.5 PRC with a freebore of .100 for those who want to be closer to lands. (they also chamber with .220 fb for medium/long action)

I'm shooting 7-6.5prcw in an AI ATX. .220 freebore. 168 Berger classic hunter gets to the lands at about 2.940 COAL. Perfect bullet for the long freebore 7-6.5. Very accurate bullet for me so far. This combo also keeps the base of the bullet above the neck/shoulder junction.

22" barrel, 57.7gr n555, 2915 fps.
