[QUOTE="Clark, post: 1217083, member: 6600"] In my 223 sizer die testing that started 12-31-2008 and went on for 3 days: Forster 0.246" [custom honed] RCBS 0.238" Bonanza 0.241" Redding FL S bushing 0.245" Lee collet neck N/A My custom 223 reamer has a 0.250" neck, but that made it too easy on the die test, so I used a factory Ruger #1V rifle with a chamber neck so large the fired cases had 0.255" outside necks and .230" inside. The #1V chamber has 0.003" more headspace than minimum, at 1.4666". The rifle has 1.788" of useable neck length space. So while the headspace of the factory rifle was not bad, it has a large diameter and long length neck. [/QUOTE]
