[QUOTE="R. Cram, post: 3082585, member: 116633"] I put together a 30-284 also and wanted the cartridge because I like ruger precision rifles a bunch and wanted to hunt with one although they are a little heavy. Mine gave me fits and I also thought it was a mistake untill I started neck sizing I think the lee dies sized the dimension at the shoulder, neck area .007 smaller than once fired, so I started neck sizing and the rifle shoots very well now. My load is 53 gr A4350 with a 190mk or 53 gr 414 with a 190 mk, 55 gr like you are shooting was too much pressure in my rifle. I got a lee collet neck sizing die for this round and the die is for 7.5 swiss but works perfectly with the 30-284 and the die is $30 and when checking for concentricity I have never had any problems with these lee collet dies, the needle doesn't even move. A case that measures .001 out of concentric would be a bad one for these dies. I have used lots of other types including bushing dies but these $30 dies beat them all hands down. For a body die I'm going to use a 284 body die that uses bushings and make one to suite the 30 cal. [/QUOTE]
