[QUOTE="fguffey, post: 1875871, member: 113511"] I would hate myself If I tried to make myself look good at others expense. Again, I use short forming dies, all I am interested in is the long neck. If I used a bullet the diameter of the case neck would increase in diameter. I did not think I would have to explain why I do not use bullets, but here I go again. the long neck allows me to use the bolt to size the case neck to the throat. I had no ideal 243winxb did not know the end of the neck in the chamber was tapered. Close the bolt., size the neck. If the bolt closes extract the case and then trim the case back to the beginning of of the large diameter. If you do not have the ability to close the bolt on the case; not a problem for a very few. I do believe the problem with the bolt is confusing for all reloaders; when the bolt does not close I eject the case, measure the bolt protrusion from the rear of the receiver with the bolt closed and then; I open the bolt, chamber the tuff old case and start to close the bolt again until it stops (another and then moment) when the bolt stops I measure the bolt protrusion from the receiver and then it becomes a wa-la moment. I subtract the bolt protrusion number from the protrusion of the bolt with the case chambered determine how much case to trim. F. Guffey [/QUOTE]
