Yes they do, it also will bring up the pressures in a case.

The main reason for a crimp is to keep the bullies in a case in the magazine during firing.

I have always set the seating depth with the base of the bull it at the bottom of the neck with out letting the bullet protrude into the powder area of the round. I have not had any problems loading this way.

I have my big bore a 358 STA and a 223-6mm. Then I think a good mide size bore a 264, 7mm or 30 cal would round it out for me.

I think you will need a caliber of 338 or larger to do what you want. Check them out , a 35 Whalen my do just fine for you

Yes they do and on moose too.

I lived in Alaska for four years in the inside passage. I started out with a 300 win mag. Then I seen a brown bear grizzly, at that time I sold the 300 and picked up a 375 H&H. After talking with the old timers in that area they all told me that the smallest bore they would use is a 35 cal, and...

Any barrel past 28 will have problems. Good luck

I have a 358 and I like the 225 gr in mine.

You are right rem triggers are fully adjustable for pull weight over travel and sear ingagment. But a good cleaning with break parts cleaner followed by a good spray lube helps. I have used gun slick on the sear ingagment to reduce pull weight by 1lb.

The 700 has a good trigger try adjusting it first

Any case that has neck thickness problems is a bad case. Plus case weight changes that are to far light or heavy. A case that is banana shaped is caused by the exstracter, why bench rest shooters have them removed.

The trigger may need the sear ingagment adjusted.

I have had this happen to me. What is going on is the case is flowing forward when you fire it in your rifle, to get rid of the donut you need a inside neck remember fo your caliber.

I have yet to shot an elk past three hundred yards yet, most have been no longer then one hundred yards. But a 7mm mag just will not have the killing power at 1000 yards. Probably the best rifle would be a 378 or 340 Weatherby at 1k.
