[QUOTE=".284, post: 862232, member: 19604"] It will cost about 100$ for the ptg if I remember correctly and your gunsmith use 30-06 or similar go no go gauges which I'm sure they will have so you won't need to buy those. You may have a thicker neck by sizing down, Im not 100% sure. You will have to trim though. I neck up 25-06 brass and there's no need to trim for a while. You could also prep some brass and measure the diameter of a few loaded dummy rounds and compare that to the reamer you were going to use. People use tight neck reamers to reduce the possibility of the bullet entering the rifling slightly off centre and to hold the cartridge more aligned with the bore before firing. Unless you're planning to shoot bench rest I wouldn't worry too much about all that though. I don't shoot bench though so some else may have a better explanation on tight neck chambers. My 6.5-06 does not have a tight neck chamber and its shoots great but if you're going to shoot bench and chase groups by the .1 that may help but that game is outta my league [/QUOTE]
