It is like the rule of thumb for nuts and bolts - minimum is one full turn of threads to retain bolt.

I still think I have too much freebore but after looking closer at the case, 225 eld & 230 Berger, I don't see how .235 freebore would be enough to get the bearing surface/ boat tail junction of the bullet above the neck/ shoulder junction of the case.
Neck on my reamer measures about .300. I actually think that .300 freebore is about right for a 230 Berger & 225 eld. I just think that he let his throater get away from him and he went to far. My cousin has the rifle right now fitting a muzzle brake for it. But Dave Kiff insisted a .235 freebore reamer for 230s. I think .235 is more appropriate for 215s.
