Neck Turning Lapua 6mmGT brass

If they are so desirable it is a wonder that someone has not tooled up and making a “New” version one..?
Just the same as if you want a Bukys tuner you can buy a Perrott tuner that is a virtual copy. Just as well made or better…
There was an attempt by some company called a Purple something. It was on the market for a couple of years. Never heard anymore.
 
Let us know what you find. The Alpha is consistently .001 or more thicker near the shoulder than near the mouth. Similar pattern on their .308 Win SRP brass.
Sorry about the delay… Busy, Busy… {:~/
Just miked up 5 random cases of the Peterson 6GT brass and definitely need to be careful where you measure from as if too close to neck/shoulder junction the reading will increase.
#1-Case: .01295-.0131-.0136-.0124
#2-Case: .01305-.01295-.0133-.0129
#3-Case: .0129-.0130-.01355-.0127
#4-Case: .0134-,0128-.01345-.01305
#5-Case: .01355-.0128-.01345-.01305
All measurements as close as I can do the measuring…
Perhaps if I had a mike that had a ball on both sides instead of just the anvil side it would be closer to true as I have to be careful the the flat tip does not get down towards the case mouth {un-chamfered and possibly a slight ridge} or to close to the neck/shoulder junction and read a bit off the shoulder…
I do believe I will turn these cases to “Just” cleaned up…
Even though the build will be with a “No Turn Neck” reamer.
 
If it were me I would order a PMA adjustable neck turning tool with appropriate pilots . Then once you find what performs best in your rifle call Pat back at PMA and order a non adjustable one from him at your specifications, he’s wonderful to work with

Second on the PMA tool. I have several types. It's a world above the others
