Question for Dasher or 6BRA shooters: What is your preferred loaded round neck to chamber neck clearance?

[Bell]

I note with interest in"the book of Rifle Accuracy", Tony Boyer dedicates a chapter explaining how to neck turn to a total loaded round clearance of 0.0015!!
He then goes on to say that a case fired 3 to 5 times should be able to have a bullet inserted before sizing. He recommends that if you can't insert a bullet the case should be turned a little more (in increments of 0.0002) until it does!
That's pretty tight but I suppose Tony knows what he's talking about.

I'm not familiar with a Dasher or a BRA or any other variant. I shoot a 6PPC. I have found the tighter clearance the better. I've never measured but I can tell you that after a case is fired in my rifle I can seat a bullet with my bare finger and the case still holds it.

6 brx .262 neck. .002 total clearance for lots of barrels, for a long time. Never had a reason to change.

Man, those necks are pretty thin!

Man, those necks are pretty thin!

Drop one one don't even look, just throw it away. But thin to win has worked ok.

Staying on topic, I shoot a 6 br-a and follow the leaders.
268 nk
265 loaded round
Seems to work well.

When I got the reamer for my Dasher, it had a .2704 neck, supposedly no-turn Lapua Blue Box. My loaded rounds are .268 so my total clearance is .0024, it works, never had a problem and I’m on barrel number 3. Buying some Peterson brass caused me to turn the necks as they, unturned, made loaded rounds .269, .0014 total clearance, a bit too tight. If I order another reamer, it will have a .272 neck
