What's your nk measurement Courtz? That will help decide.

Looking forward to seeing this rifle come together. Maybe you will come and shoot open with us :)

I've got a .284 Shehane reamer (.313 nk) that I can let go. It's been setup for 175-180 projectiles and also the neck bushing die which I got from Bill Shehane. PM if you are interested.

cheers

Courtz,

With unturned Lapua brass I use a .312 or .311 neck bushing.

Hope it goes well.

Like alanf I use a .311" bushing and turn brass to give .002" tension, about 50% clean up.

But it will depend on your brass, reamer etc.
