SAAMI SPECS FOR 45 LC CHAMBER

I tried to do a search, got a lot of stuff but not what I wanted. Got link to SAAMI, but their site does not give up the 'good stuff' for free. So, can someone on here post the MAX chamber dimensions for 45 LC, ...heck 44 Mag too, if you got it. Thanks

Here you go. ...and the site is a treasure trove of information:

I am not sure if those dimensions are max but will get you started.
I believe a set of go and no-go guges is the way to check chamber size.

Thank you Jimbo and especially Miller, that one has the CHAMBER dimensions that I was wondering about. I never would have thought the chamber body would have been that much larger than the case, .006+ !!

It would be very nice if manufacturers started treating .45 Colt, from a chambering perspective, like a short .454 Casull.
