[QUOTE="CatShooter, post: 174564, member: 7"] Ridge... I remember when you were having that built about a year and a half ago - I was getting a 264 WM at the time. If you have a .292" chamber neck, and a .289" loaded unturned outside neck, you would up with a "no turn neck", not a "tight neck"... and when you turn off another 4 or 5 thou, the necks are pretty thin to survive a 7 thou expansion when fired. I have also found that neck turning a case causes the necks to harden - I wound up tossing out over 900 neck turned cases a while back when I loaded them up, and let them sit for a while, and they split on their own (without ever being fired :( ) The original neck was 0.014" and I turned them to 0.010". They had the classical "T" split - down the neck along the bullet, and then around the base of the bullet, forming a "T", for almost half of the circumference of the neck. I would suggest that you load a bullet in a Fire Formed case that has an unturned neck, blacken the neck, and chamber it to check that there is adequate neck clearance - then turn the cases the minimum amount to clean them up, and then anneal them. That might work out for you. Also... as Lazy said - that RL-22 load might be too hot if you are loosing cases from primer pocket expansion. . [/QUOTE]
