[QUOTE="ImBillT, post: 3086149, member: 117715"] 1) Run it through a full length die with a good lube. If you get dents in the shoulder, that's too much lube. If it chatters, your lube isn't good enough. Imperial Die Wax works. Too much will cause dents. 2) Know the neck diameter of your chamber via measuring a fired, but not sized case neck, or asking your gunsmith. Seat a bullet in a 7x57 case that you sized down to 6mm Remington. If it's not at least .001" smaller than your chamber neck, then you'll have to turn necks thinner, or ream them. I honestly prefer turning necks, so I don't mind if they're a little thick after sizing down. 3) Anneal your neck or you'll get very few firings before splitting case necks after sizing down. Because I have usually done a fair bit of trimming, turning and sorting, I want maximum case life after all that work, so annealing is a must for me if I size a neck up or down for a different caliber.
