I just started reloading the 6x45 brass and after resizing a few I thought I better make sure a bullet fits in the neck of a fired but unsized case.
Out of about 30 cases about 20 would not fit a bullet. Bad sign.
I measured a few cases with bullet seated and they were .265" or .266". SAAMI says .269" which should be the maximum.
I can only assume the barrel has a tight throat. SAAMI chamber dimension shows it should be .270".
It's a good thing I loaded light loads. I guess I have to contact BHW.
