I know both of you guys load/shoot the 6.5-300 Bee… would one of you mind measuring a factory or a hand loaded neck with a bullet seated so I can use that dimension in building/sizing some brass from 300 Bee cases. I know Saami shows .295 as maximum but wondering what an actual measurement is. Chamber dimension has .297 so thinking factory ammo probably allowing more than .002 clearance.
Guessing my finished cases will end up with thicker necks and most likely will need to turn the outsides for keeping case neck thickness uniform and to get adequate clearance. This is a production chamber/rifle and thus wanting to get a measurement from either of you fine gentlemen!
Appreciate any help you could provide. Looking for 6.5-300 brass was a real needle in a haystack hunt thus the reason to just form my own.
Thank you.
