[QUOTE="kraky, post: 132037, member: 180"] I had an interesting experience this fall. Was loading for a guys 7mm wsm browning autoloader. I got some hornaday dies and wow.....the case mouths were coming out at .276" opening. That's .008" grip. Bullets seated terribly hard and had lots of runnout. I thought....oh [censored]....my first job for my friend and these are gonna shoot really crappy. 2 of the 4 test loads went to 3/4" and almost all of them went to the same point of impact. I was amazed. So was he. I contacted Hornady and they said that wsm brass necks are all over the place for thickness and that's why they are set up the way they are. Now we just withdraw the case over the expander,,,then raise it up over the expander.....and withdraw a couple of times while rotating the cases. That gives us .004" grip and good runnout. Now watch the accuracy go to hell?????!!!!! That's the fun of reloading....some of the stuff that slides together as smooth as butter shoots like crap.....then something that feels like you are virtually "hammering" it together shoots like a house of fire!!!!!!
