Lar45325 WSM neck length?
Hi, does anyone know what the neck length is for the 325 WSM?
I tried looking at Clymers site, but couldn't find a link to the standard reamers specs. Anybody have a link to that?
TIA

Lar45I dug around and found this at shortmags.org
http://www.shortmags.org/shortmags/downloads.htmthey have a pdf download from Speer that shows the base of the neck at 1.7921" with a case length of 2.1", so the neck would be .3079"
Is this different from the actual cases?
tks.

b beyerThe .270 is from steves pages.
To list case length in tenths is optimistic as one can get.
There is a big difference in the two drawings, someones wrong.

Lar45I got a reamer from PTG, cut a chamber and poured a chamber cast. The neck length of the chamber cast is .326" ??? I wonder if the reamer was cut correctly?
I'm makeing a longer chamber in a surplus 8x57 barrel. So it looks like I should be able to have a .315" neck and still have room for case stretch.

b beyerThe length of the neck on the reamer is definatly not what you want you brass to be.
