.22 Dasher blow length

Got my Bartlein barrel from Shiraz and working with Kiff on my reamer. For Lapua Blue box he has the case length at 1.535" which seems to be correct for the 6mm however I read here that the blow length for the .22 is 1.565". .22 Dasher shooters please confirm.
He also included a Norma print at 1.600" and .253 neck diameter. He has the Lapua at .252, sound correct.
 
My chamber length is 1.570 and I get blow lengths of 1.555-1.565. Over 300 of them in my last batch and only a couple went below 1.555. My no-turn neck on the Lapua brass is .254-.255. I have both.
 
Thanks Dasher, what's your neck clearance at .245/.255. I guess I'm asking for your loaded diameter with fire formed Lapua Blue box.
 
Interesting!
I must be doing something wrong. Blue box new at 6mm is 1.555". Necked down grew to 1.558-1.56". Neck turn to .013" for a .252 chamber. Fired I got 1.540-1.545" . Kinda a bummer as my chamber is 1.570.

Here is a copy of my reamer print, please see the note in the lower left hand corner. I'm shooting the Hornady 53grn V-Max bullets. My fired brass OAL is 1.540"
