[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 93231, member: 5302"] Try sizing the cases over a .311 or .323 caliber expander ball to open the necks up a bit oversize, then resize them in your die. I've done this a few times making .30-.338 long neck (or .30-.338 Keele) cases when the .300 Win. Mag shoulder-neck junction left a small groove in the neck and things worked out very well. Outside neck turning typically uses a mandrel in the tool that's a snug fit in the tool to keep the cutter making neck wall thickness very uniform. This may also push the groove out and solve the problem, but try it on one test case to find out. [/QUOTE]
