[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 431640, member: 25383"] here's what I'd do if it were me. * I'd shave the necks for about a 90% cleanup (keep them all the same size). You'll probably end up with about .015" neck wall thickness with a little luck going your way. Then size the necks with the .290 bushing. This on paper gives you .004" grip on the bullet, but the necks will spring back about .001" to .0015", giving you an actual grip on the bullet of about .003" (a great place to start). While doing this order in a .289" and a .288" bushing in case you need a bit more tension on the bullet. Now I've never worked with the Lapua cases your talking about, so you should make some measurments before going too far in the project. Lastly I highly recommend buy a set of the small hole gauges. They're better than the older telescopic gauges, and I think they're a little better than "unimics". Also a small fraction of the price tag. If you buy any, look for the ones that are "D" shaped with the flat end on them. Keep us posted on your adventure, and if I can help be sure to let me know gary [/QUOTE]
