ask your builder what his specs are on his reamer he should have a print for it..

I'm positive I've posted this before — I'm definitely no gunsmith, but I've personally hand reamed a couple of 6.5 PRC's with the AW2 Reamer and it's very easy. I made a little extension so you don't have to remove the barrel. (JGS sells them too I believe)
Minimal material removal. Take your time and use lots of cutting fluid

Would you consider renting your reamer for hand reaming? If so how much?

Has anybody shot factory ammo in their AW2 chamber?

I know the AW2 chamber is designed to address resizing issues but I would like to know if factory ammo will still shoot well in the bigger chamber?

hornady brass you will likely not see any problems its when you throw that bullet hard ADG at er that it will rear its ugly head and your dies are some of the best "off the shelf dies" I've used

Should shoot better, since I also tweaked the freebore diameter.

I'm having problems with resizing two 6.5 PRC's. Bought a second set of dies but no help.....

I shoot and reload the 6.5 PRC and 300 PRC..
I have been using Whidden dies without any issues.
You m ay want to have Warner make your custom die for your Rifle Chamber.

I reamed my 6.5 PRCs with the AW2 reamer last weekend. It took no longer than 30 minutes to hand ream both chambers with the barrels on. Afterwards, I thoroughly cleaned both rifles and took them to the range with 4x fired ADG brass I previously had troubles with. Both rifles functioned perfectly while completely eliminating clickers and tight cases.
