[QUOTE="abinok, post: 113308, member: 16"] Just making sure on the decimal places.... youre saying your thinnest neck is .014", your thickest is .018" ? Saami is .340... so you will be right there. The easiest thing to do would be just hammer a round downrange, and slap a caliper on the fired neck. From that the answer is super easy. The whole goal of my tapdancing around giving an actual number revolves around wanting to keep expansion on firing as low as is practical to balance out sizing/work hardening the brass. Ive turned brass too thin to make it clean up before. worked great for all 3 firings [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] before the necks split. Measuring a fired round will make everything clear. [/QUOTE]
