[QUOTE="Dr. Vette, post: 1748526, member: 22335"] Yes, if you have a body die larger than a 257. The 6.5-257 die set that I have (also Redding) wasn't bored out enough and it pushes down the neck of the case when seating, squashing the shoulder. For a while I thought that I'd over-annealed the brass, but eventually figured it out. Now I use my 7mm neck bushing die with the correct size bushing and my 7mm body die to size the cases. The 7mm seating die with micrometer works perfectly for that part of the job. If you have 257 dies, you may have to enlarge them. Thankfully I have plenty of 7mm Wby dies on hand. [/QUOTE]
