Glen can you work out the neck diameter of your chamber by measuring the reamer out of interest

Re: P.O.ing the 260.
Of most interest is the case head diameter measurement. Large and small primer cases have both grown by .013mm

Re: P.O.ing the 260.
Why is half a thou case head growth of interest?
Minimal considering the velocities you are getting. Now if it were 0.13mm, that would be a concern.
