Neck thickness Lapua 223

Can someone tell me the neck thickness on new Lapua 223 brass?

Sending a reamer back to Kiff for a regrind and need to know diameter for them to grind neck. I have some on order but as slow as orders are being sent I might have the reamer back first.
 
My PTG 223 reamer was cut with a .253" chamber neck diameter, specifically for Lapua brass. It was an excellent choice. My Lapua brass has 15 to 18 loadings & I've never tossed one because of a split in the case neck.

+1 on this , . 252" or .253" , and .020" freebore , if you're shooting 60g and above .
