[QUOTE="Ragnarnar, post: 1328236, member: 98218"] I'm of the opinion you should send it back to your smith and have him open the neck up. The original spec on the 338 edge is a .371 neck diameter on the loaded round if I recall correctly. Unless you speced the reamer, have your smith make it right. Bench rest shooters run their necks at 1.5-2 thou clearance. My hunting rifles come in at 4 thou clearance and my "practical/tactical" rifle is about the same or a little less with lapua brass. I don't think turning will fix your problems and, due to the amount you're taking off to achieve field clearances you'll run the risk of shortening already short component life. But either way good luck. [/QUOTE]
