Default 22bra reamer help

Looking for some advice for a 22bra reamer. I’m wondering what neck diameter I should be going with for a no neck then? Also wondering what freebore for the heavies (75-88)

If you can get past the "Clown Show" that answers the phone at PTG and speak directly with Dave , You'll get everything you need in the way of answers and he might even send over a reamer print.
He's a good guy just surrounded by dummies

Is that not the truth.
If you can not contact Dave, give Manson a try.

if going with PTG expect over a year wait if you even get it at all.

Matt I had a look at a reamer cartoon from a 223 ack Dave ground for me years ago.
The neck portion of the reamer was .250 and the throat was .0618 for use with the 80 amax.
I'm betting your BR brass will be heavier through the neck than the 5.56 brass I am using...so maybe .252-.253?

Call JGS, they should be able to hook you up. I'm betting it'll be around .252" but could easily be wrong

Taking to account that you'll never center a reamer in a bore perfectly enough to manage "zero wobble" as you cut, I believe rickie may have posted the magic number.
