600NE case dimensions info needed...
I know the rim diameter is .805" however, I need some other dimensions from those who have some cases please.

Rim= .805"
Rim thickness= ??
Case diameter near rim= ??
Case diameter near middle= ??
Case diameter near mouth= ??
Case length= ??

Also if you could state the Mfgr of the brass (Bertram, bell, RMC, Searcy, etc) that would be great.
Thanks in advance.

The .600 NE has the standard British thick rim, being developed as a nitro cartridge without any BP ancestry. Bill Fleming measured stacks of Kynoch factory loads, rim thickness min. 60 thou, max. 65 thou.
