[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1858121, member: 2736"] Measuring wall thickness any where in the case body is difficult at best, case manufactures have different design parameters in different areas and are not consistent from one to the other. The easiest way to find this would also be to weight sort or volume test after case prep. It still wouldn't tell you the wall thickness in any given area, but it would be an indication of the durability and the possibility of the thickest case wall. the other way is to section the case in half from neck to case head. an optical comparator is the best way to measure the wall due to damage that could be caused by the sectioning. I have sectioned many different case brands to see if there were problems or why one held up better than another and found that the case and case web was very different in many brands and based on their forming dies. If you can afford to sacrifice one case from each brand, you can section them and then get the measurements that you want and where you want. One reason that Lapua last so long is their web design is very different from others and well engineered. Hope this helps J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
