6.5 PRC build question

[Herschel34]

In the process of gathering components to build a 6.5 PRC. I’m aware of the chamber issues and bolt click on reloads. I know people are using the AW2 reamer to finish an existing chamber to eliminate the bolt clicks but have any of y’all used this reamer on a brand new barrel blank? Wondering if I should just initially chamber the barrel with the reamer?

Yes, do it right first. What are you building? Can’t leave that out. We wanna know.

Using an AW2 type reamer initially would be a wise idea yes

I’m torn between impact precision NBK vs defiance anti x XM+. Not sure I want the extra 8oz on the impact NBK

Any downside to factory ammo in the AW2 chamber? My try the easy button with factory ammo prior to load development

No issues with factory ammo with the aw2 reamer.
My chamber was cut using the aw2 and it shoots factory ammo just fine
