6x284 Reamer Print

I have one. I measured a Redding die with intramikes and specified .003 larger at the .200 datum and .0025 larger at the junction of the body and shoulder. I'll try to scan it and get it posted.
 
I think I've got one from PAC NOR and McGowan. I'll check in the morning and let you know.

Thanks for that Scott, how did you find the cases sized at those dimensions?

Is there any spring back on the brass at the shoulder and 0.200" line after firing?

I'm second guessing myself a little at this point. Those dimensions on my print are pretty much the same as PTG started using when Lapua 6.5-284 brass came on the scene. My fired brass measures about .5005 and .4755 at those points, so a little spring back. My chamber is probably slightly larger. I never experienced hard extraction. I don't have the rifle or dies at this point, so I can't measure any sized cases. I remember that the Redding body die worked well.
