Chambering reamer neck dimension

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
 
In a case like this :) I would send the fired brass to Dave Kiff and have him grind a reamer for your cases. A case with a bullet seated exactly where you want them will also be needed...
As a after thought, you may be a old man before you burn the 6br up...
