Lapua 6.5 Creedmoor Brass Question

[tclaunch]

Does anyone know a really close measurement of the neck wall thickness of this brass? I`m trying to spec a reamer. I`ve seen 2 prints so far in 6 Creedmoor which is why I`m asking with 2 different neck diameters .275" and .277"

Tim, my lot ran 0.0140-0.0145" out of the box. Purchased just after release date.

Well has anyone even had the new Lapua 6 Creedmoor Brass in stock yet? The neck dimensions are likely different from necked down 6.5 vs the new Lapua 6 Creedmoor brass

I'm way behind. I didn't know Lapua was making the 6mm version...lol

I necked down Lapua 6.5 with a Forster FL Die, lightly turned the neck, and finished with loaded dummy round measured at .271

Dummy round befor turning was around .273

That’s about as far to other end of the spectrum as you can get from Lapua.

Yur right, posted to the wrong thread. Poof, gone!
