I have a Remington 700 in 6mmBR Norma that was built by Speedy Gonzales. Shooting factory Lapua cases, the fired case neck is so tight that a bullet will not fit back into the case neck - i.e. it appears to have been made with a "tight" neck reamer.
I have turned 100 Lapua cases for this gun so that when I seat a bullet the case neck diameter is .266" and a bullet will slip into a fired case. Accuracy is outstanding, but the gun now has 2200+ rounds through it.
My question is this: When I need to re barrel this gun I do not want to discard these cases, so what neck diameter reamer do I specify to the gunsmith?
Thanks,
George
