I make a guess because I have neither his dies, his brass nor his gun, so I have no way of giving him exact numbers.

I gave him all the information he needs to find and use those numbers.

You'll notice that I did, in fact, mention using feeler gauges. I did so partially in hopes that it might dissuade your usual harangue about gauges and standards and shims and transfers.

Apparently not.
