[QUOTE="stirner, post: 2749405, member: 44287"] I made a 7x47 by necking up a 6.5x47. After firing a few rounds, I noticed a definite bump when I was seating a bullet. I wanted to turn the necks anyway, so I made a special effort on the neck-shoulder junction. It helped some, but not completely. Fortunately, I had a 6.5 neck reamer, and I ran that in with only light resistance until I came to the shoulder. Then, I cut a lot of brass from the inside of the neck. About 40 years ago, I thought I would be smart and load some lead bullets in my 35 Whelen for some light recoiling target work. Because they were so much shorter then jacketed bullets, I only loaded them about half way down the neck. A few rounds in each case later, I noticed a donut "about half way down the neck." I took it to my gunsmith, and he said I had cut the neck of the chamber in the barrel. I had to have the barrel shortened, and the chamber recut. I don't know if a full-house load will do that also, but if you seat your bullets shallow, and see a donut, you now know where it came from. [/QUOTE]
