I'm looking for info such as reamer measurements for the 240 Gibbs. I understand it's a version of the 6mm-06 but need to know the difference. Thanks from the gunnut69

RCBS has the specs on just about every wildcat round in existance. Bet a phone call would get them for you from their tech help line. They also have a CD I think with all of the data on it I keep thinking I'd like to have.
