Hey guys,
I'm looking for some input on reamer dimensions for a possible .338 lapua build...
I'd like to throat it for 300gr bergers using lapua brass to maximize case capacity while maintaining appropriate amount of bullet still in the neck of the case and leave room to chase the lands as the barrel wears..
I don't have any components yet but someone told me new lapua brass neck thickness is about .015-.016" thick.. I will probably turn the necks to .015" to have a finished loaded round neck OD of .368" and have the reamer set at .371"
I don't have any other dimensions of new lapua brass so any info there would be helpful.
What I don't have are the following:
Freebore
Freebore diameter
Base diameter
Leade angle
Total chamber length (I was thinking about just having it cut .005" longer than saami max length)
Any thoughts or input is most welcome.
Thanks in advance!
