6x47 Peterson Brass Neck Dimensions?

Timely question, I loaded some new Peterson this morning and found .270" also. I ordered a .268 bushing for my Hornady match grade sizer.

I usually like to FL size new brass but I didn't have a bushing so I picked some cases with a visually round mouth and chamfered them.

Trying to conserve my Varget and H4350, I loaded up a mild charge of CFE223 under 70 gr Blitzkings, and CCI450 primers. I had several hangfires, sooty necks, sooty brass, even after I bumped the charge a grain under max.

So I broke out the H4350 and had very good results.

I have a barrel I'm going to be chambering up for a 6x47 real soon Any idea where a guy can find 100 pieces of this Peterson brass? I have Lapua brass for a varmint rifle I built, but this is going to be for a hunting rifle for my wife and I'd like to keep it separate.

Thanks, John

I used 43.5gr of Reloader 17 pushing a 70gr Blitzking and had great results.
