221 Neck Wall Thickness

[JSH]

Anyone have a virgin case to measure?
Thought I had a few, may have used them or put them up so I would know where their at…………..

TIA

I dont know about virgin Rem , but when I make them from Lake City I go for .012.
I get a better case reaming ID than turning OD for .221

Care to elaborate?

I randomly checked a handful of pieces of Lapua 221FB brass from multiple different boxes and it was .0127-.013 and that was using a tube ball micrometer not caliper. Measuring neck thickness with a caliper isn't really the most accurate way to measure neck thickness.
