OD on 6,5x47L neck?

Anyone got the outside neck measurement on a loaded unturned 6,5x47lapua case?
Need to order dies and bushings and dont have brass yet.

Cheers in advance
 
mine is .289 ish and I had Forster FL die honed to .287..hope that helps~Danny (mine is blue box)
 
All of my loaded, unturned 6.5x47 Lapua brass measures .291. I use a .289 bushing to give .002 tension when loaded.

This is unturned brass just purchased this year. The neck thickness of the (my) brass is 0.0135".

Good luck.

What he said. ;)
 
I have three different 1000pc lots of the blue box brass and all of them are .288 loaded(w/bergers) and I had a Forster die honed to .286.


Now, with the older cardboard box brass my loaded rounds were .291 and .292 depending on the lot.
