I have two reamers, a long throat for Rem 700s & a short throat for Tikka T3s, the 695 is between the two of them so just get it throated to suit.

I have dies that make it pretty simple to neck the brass down from .375 to 7mm, then it gets a light neck turn to clean it up.

@Kiwi Greg stupid question here, but can you please explain in simple terms about the 2 different reamers. Is is mag length difference between Tikka and Remmy, or something else ?

Yep I have two 7-375 reamers

The Tikkas magazine is much shorter than the Remington standard LA magazine

With my Tikka I can get a 168 Bergers just off the lands and mag fit if that helps.
