Neck turning on 300WSM

Im having a 300WSM built for benchrest and im wondering the tolerances for neck size. ex: if reamer cuts for .336 neck. what should i turn necks to?
 
.0125 neck thickness for a .336 chamber

.0125+.0125 = .025 + .308 = .333 loaded round giving you a .003 chamber clearance. Id start with a .331 bushing if your not using a magazine or a .330 bushing if you plan on having them in a magazine. that will give you a snug .003 of neck tension
