6.5 prc clicker

[Bater]

JGS should have one

I rented the reamer from a guy here. I don’t recall the user name but it’s wouldn’t be hard to find with a search.

Thank you. My Redding size sizes down to 0.5325. What does it need to size down to in order to prevent clickers?

From my memory, the .200 line on the case is where the clicker problem lies. From the reading I did when going through this, most dies cant size this area easily as it’s where you begin to run into the base of the case. I have two 6.5 PRC’s I reload for, and used the JGS reamer on both. Not a problem since and both rifles are super accurate. It doesn’t take much time and is super easy. Was well worth it to me.

I use a Redding body die to size and the bump shoulder, then a collet neck sizer. One likes .262 the other .260, for whatever reason.

yeah the main body diameter is not so much the issue, a normal die doesn’t size down the case far enough into the case head. Although the cortina didn’t size any further down than my Redding type s.

Bumping the shoulder took care of my clickers, agree with post above.

Where did your rent the reamer?

WTS Thread 'For Rent: 6.5 PRC AW2, 300 PRC AW2, and 7 PRC AW reamer fix kits'

Available for rent are complete kits to fix your 6.5 PRC, 300 PRC, or 7 PRC if you're dealing with the infamous 'clickers'. I started getting them on the second firing on one of my rifles, and fixed the other ones preemptively.

The fix is simple and removes about .003" of material at the .20" mark in the chamber. This allows the brass to expand enough that a reloading die can size it back down and it won't get stuck anymore. Otherwise, this area on the case is outside of the reach of the dies.

The how-to fix can be found here at Long Range Only...

Went down this path earlier this year. Got the Micron sizing die and it helped, but didn't eliminate the issue. Rented the AW2 reamer and problem solved. Was easy to do as a non-gunsmith. Since then the accuracy is as good as ever and the clicker issue is gone. Will say you may also want to check for a carbon ring as I had both issues show up around the same time.

Perfect. Thank you sir!

I watched Eric Cortina's video on this.

It’s based on your rifle. Need to measure fired brass and resized brass. Alex wheeler goes through how much clearance is needed and appropriate.

Fingers crossed. 5x fired brass, shooting near max, no issue yet. I feel like it would have showed up by now, no?

Probably, but I could live with 5-6 firings. This isn’t a thing where there is a standard rule that applies. It depends on how tight your chamber is cut. A tight custom rifle will probably show the issue sooner than a sloppy factory rifle.

I’m 5-6 reloading of ADG brass and no clickers in 300 PRC. If I had (have) clickers my approach is to first explore brass sizing modifications before reaming the chamber.

I used my wilson 300 prc die after the redding die and didn't have any clickers. Also tried hornady brass with just the redding die and no clickers.
