[QUOTE="dok7mm, post: 1444314, member: 90080"] Todd, this is how I do it: 1. I use a K&M inside reamer, on a tee handle, to remove as much of the donut as possible. I go to the donut before I turn the cutter, to spare the neck from scoring. 2. Push the rest to the outside with expander ball or mandrel. Do this in and out several times. 3. Then I skim turn or turn for chamber neck clearance, being sure to get into the shoulder. 4. Check with pin gauges to verify there is no donut left. 5. Last step is ordering a FL die matched to fit my chamber. On a hunting rifle with SAAMI reamer that has a loose chamber and a tight die, that is oversizing your brass every time, it will continue to push the shoulder brass into the neck with each shoot/resizing cycle. Brass life can be short. The only solutions are finding a looser die or buying a die made off fired brass. Else you end up with more donuts, if it's a short FB and you have to seat bullets below the neck. [/QUOTE]
