For Sale For Rent: 6.5 PRC AW2, 300 PRC AW2, 7 PRC AW reamer kits

[charliehorse27]

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.

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

PRC SAAMI Chamber Issue - The JGS AW2 (Alex Wheeler) Finish Reamer Fix

Since I was taking my 300 PRC apart today I thought I would do a step by step, with pics, of how I use the JGS AW2 Reamer on a SAAMI chamber. The chamber on my rifle is already an AW2 chamber but this should help those with SAAMI chambers. This is the reamer. Thanks to Alex Wheeler for making...

Are the throat dimensions the same as a saami reamer?

 

[charliehorse27]

Yes. Throat dimensions should all be the same.

Can this be done without removing the barrel from action? I have a 6.5 and just had another rifle converted to 7 PRC. I'm on my 3rd firing for brass on the 6.5 and haven't had any clickers yet but if and when I do I'm going to need to rent these...

 

[charliehorse27]

Yes, absolutely can be done without taking the barrel off. I never have on any of the ones I've done. I just take the stock off, but the barreled action in a padded vise, and get to work. It's a very quick process. It seems like the 'clickers' come on quicker with hotter loads. If your rifle was custom, there's a good chance they already used a 6.5 PRC AW2 reamer when they chambered it.

I have a Proof prefit for Impact precision NBK on the 6.5, just sent Proof an email asking if they use the AW2. I know my 7 PRC was not reamed because I asked my smith about it when I picked up the gun....

Proof will respond with "we use a proprietary reamer to our specifications".

 

[Buckskinner]

Well hopefully they respond to clicker question.

somebody went "all-in" on PRC-AW... LOL

In a way Proof responded to my question. They said their reamers are custom made by a local machine shop to SAAMI specs, so no they do not address the clicker issue.

I have a Proof Elevation in 7 PRC and am on my third firing with ADG brass. The only clickers I've had is with over pressure reloads.
