6BRA Alpha Brass question

[LVLAaron]

JGS had a Wheeler #1 in stock.... as well as the PRCW reamer I wanted. I'm off to buy some lottery tickets if you guys need me.

The JGS Wheeler #1 is .4714/.4719 dia at the .200 line. The Manson is .4710/4.720 at the .200.

If it's true that the Alpha can't handle the diameter of the Wheeler pattern, then I don't seeing the Manson being better unless it's on the low side of the tolerance zone.

What neck dia is the default Wheeler #1?

 

[LVLAaron]

I don’t plan on using Alpha. Unless the regular BR brass works.

.268 I think - don’t quote me.

"Uses standard BR headspace gauges" - Does that mean this design should close a bolt on a standard BR gauge? Or does it need to be 4 thou short or a BR GO?

BR GO becomes BRA NOGO. BRA GO is .004" shorter than BR GO.

Anyone have the reamer print for Wheeler #2
