[QUOTE="RevJim, post: 3001199, member: 86754"] Thank you Sir! All my 30-06 brass was new Lapua and Winchester. I have almost all them necked up/fire formed in working up loads in the A-Square and MT/waiting to load right now. I'm going to fireform them in the new Ackley Chamber as is. I haven't decided to use COW method or bullet just touching yet. I have to drive 60 miles round trip to the Range and least amount of trips is appealing. ha If I get a few case failures 'then" I will anneal. I thought I would try necking down some Whelan to FF in the Ackley, and learn more in the process, hopefully get to still use my LEE FCD. If not, say it takes too much trimming, or its too much of a hassle and too risky for donuts, no loss as I gave my Marine SIL a 35 Whelan AI back in 2004. he can use the brass. I can always have an extra Shell Holder milled down to "shorten" it for the shorter FF '06 loads Thanks again for the tip on checking for the donut! P.S. Ooops, can't shorten the SH to crimp shorter brass. Instead the bottom of the crimp die has to be milled off to reach the shorter brass. Sorry. [/QUOTE]
