.012" on my ADG brass

Turned? I’ve never seen magnum anything below .0135 that I can recall much less necked down.

Is 61 gr of h4831 a typo?

Doubt it lol my 6.5prc is shooting 135bergers with 59 grains and no pressure signs outta an 18” barrel.

For this that have the preferred barrels that used the standard .140 free bore, how do the 108-115 seat. Also what were velocities? I’m getting ready to order a barrel and thinking of having them add some free bore. What is the max I can go and still fit in 2.985 mag being 10-20 thou from lands. I see @huntnful is running .200. Also saw some chatter about .180 being pretty optimal.

.180 FB is a really good spot. That’s what I have on mine from PBB. 108 seats really well. I don’t have any 115s to check. .140 FB is definitely on the short side. Not saying it’d be a “handicap”, but it’s definitely sub-optimal.

Perfect info. Thanks. When you ordered from preferred did you just request .180 in the notes? Did they charge extra?

Agreed. .200 is too long for 115’s to be near lands and fit in a mag. It’s really only good for 108’s seated to 2.985”. Lighter bullets about fall out of the case before they get to the lands. And heavier longer bullet need a long jump once you seat them to a SA mag length.

I called and asked them for an extra .040 FB, for a total of .180 FB after I ordered. No extra charge for me.

Yep
24” barrel
Lapua brass
Fed 215M
58.0 g N565
9 shots were about 1.25”
These were “Mexican match” style, I pulled 9 109s and threw these on top. Load development done for a CA Load. That same charge also shoots the 90g Tipped hammer hunters well
