[QUOTE="davewilson, post: 120496, member: 4491"] went through this a while back and i can give you some numbers. when you push rem or fed brass out to 338 and put a bullet in it, the neck of a loaded round will measure 365. can't speak for nosler brass but i would be surprized if it was much different. my chamber has a 368 neck and i'm gonna try them first without turning any off the necks because i don't think this makes much if any difference in accuracy.i'm fairly sure Shawn has his necks around 372. i think 362 would be too tight and 360 simply out of the question. neck thickness of less than .012 is not enough for bullets and cases this size. a .012 wall thickness would make a loaded round of 361 or 362 and i like around .003-4 clearance. 365 would be the minimum i would consider. as far as tapering the neck area i don't think it's needed.
