Dimensions of Petersen 6BR and 7BR Brass

Do any of you have the dimensions of the Petersen 6BR and 7BR brass, to be exact, the overall length and the average neck wall thickness of each?
 
Overall length averages 1.510 to 1.511 with most 1.510. Neck thickness averages .012 to .0125 with most .012 for the 7br. Allen
 
Thanks.

I wanted to try the 7BR necked up to 30BR, but they are too short, as my reamer uses a trim to length of 1.540.

Is the 6BR 1.560 like the Lapua?

A random check of ten 6BR cases measured 1.552 to 1.554. Only one case measured 1.554
