6BR Neck Wall Thickness

[Liven The Dream]

Just wondering out of the Top BR Brass Makers if any have a thinner thickness in wall ?
.012 .013 ??

Thanks

I believe Peterson typically runs thinner than Lapua or Alpha.
They have the average measurement specs for each lot listed on their site.

My lapua 6br brass, 2 separate lots from years apart runs at about .0125.

Edit: both boxes were newer blue box.

Peterson is generally a little thinner than Lapua as noted above.

Lapua runs about .0125 and the Peterson I’ve used was .012.

All of this will vary by lot number. Lapua is USUALLY .0125 but I’ve seen some wide swings over the years .

What do you have in mind?

I have a tight neck ,268 and use .011 neck thickness.

Did you wanna tell the OP what brass is 11thou thickness at the necks?

Yes, Lapua

Yes, Lapua

Lapua is not .011, at least not before you turn it.

I would think that most members of "Accurate Shooter" know that .268" chamber requires turning necks to +/- 0.011"

Well DA!
Started this for that reason , I have a tight Neck BR. Just was hoping for some Magic Made Brass as to avoid turning .
A order for more Lapua and Turning we go.
Thanks,

I guess the real question is what's your chambers neck diameter LTD?
My 6br is .270" and this thread has got me wanting to check some Petersen 6br, I bought their Dasher stuff and was fairly pleased with it but the s.d. seems to always be better with the Lapua.

No it doesn't, and OP never said anything about a 268 neck, or neck turning.
He was polling for thin neck as new brass.
