RESIZEING 6 BR BRASS

I don't know if this has been discussed but here it is.
My 6br virgin brass measures .468 @ the .200 line, my fired brass measures .4715, my sized brass measures .469. So when I resize, I am tacking it down .0025". My question is, is that too much? Is there a magic number that you strive for and still keep your accuracy? My reamer print says it is supposed to be .4714" @the .200 line. Keep in mind that I am using calipers for measuring.

I do know,or at least in the case of my gun, If it is too tight it caused clickers and extraction problems. I no longer have those issues.

What say ya'll?
 
Not excessive in my opinion just make them all the same. I have bumped them back as much as 5thou accidentally and just made them all the same. won with them like that, next time do better job starting off.
I now measure at least every 5th ....
I think lube build up makes them get shorter as i go. Idk ..

Maybe I confused you. I am not very good at explaining myself. I am talking about the diameter of case at the .200 line.
Thank you

My Wilson F/L bushing threaded die only takes the 200L back .005 from .470 to .4695 with no clicker issues but some have said they needed to move theirs more than that. Looks like your reamer may be a little different than mine. My print shows .470 @ 200L.

If they chamber freely before and after fired, I would say you are golden.
I take mine to .4685
