[QUOTE="TOM H, post: 812488, member: 306"] I got out of BR just after Lapua brass arrived so most of my experience was shooting the old Sako 220 Russian brass. I had one of those BR rifles your posting about back in them days we called them zero neck clearance. My Henriksen reamer came from Lester Bruno when he was back east and there was few like Speedy,Hammond,Jones etc making shoulder bumping dies. The standard tight neck at that time was .262 few were at .260 zero clearance start about .258 and pretty thin necks. I don't remember the necks getting harder as much as trying to keep the necks and the chamber clean. I know lot won't shoot them for that reason and after shooting one I had to agree. I've still have some Sako 220 Russian brass and primer pocket bushed by Skip Otto and there for a .262 neck 6ppc. I'm little over 30 firing on each cases never been annealed they lost little spring back not much. I'm not posting this to agree/disagree with anyone just kind of nice that someone remembers those old BR rifles. [/QUOTE]
