Gunsmithing Alpha dasher brass loaded neck size?

[Jarrodb1975]

Can some of the Dasher crew tell me what the loaded diameter of Alpha brass with a 105 hybrid? Just want to make sure it fits in a 272 neck.

Thanks

It fits perfect in a .272 neck.

Reason I ask is I got email from alpha recommending a 275 reamer.

I don't know what a loaded neck measures, but it works fine in 4 different barrels chambered with a .272" reamer. I have personally measured the neck on the reamer and it is a true .272" neck.

If you are getting a new reamer I would also recommend a .274 or .275 neck. It doesn't hurt anything and it gives you more options, but if you have a barrel already chambered with a .272" neck and are worried about Alpha working then the answer is "yes".
