[QUOTE="VinceMule, post: 2979940, member: 122164"] Mike, I could be wrong, but I think that he is forming the AGD 7 Mag brass into 257 Weatherby, ending up with a .050 shorter neck. The Venturi Sholder impedes brass flow into the neck, but for me, the brass does not last 4-5 firings(Winchester). I don't know how many firings you could do with Win brass or AGD in a std .300 Free Bore Weatherby chamber. My short freebore is running 200 fps faster than weatherby chambers meaning that there is a LOT of gas blow by before the bullet obturates in the lands. The Venturi radius forms on the Winchester brass perfectly when run through a regular Weatherby die...hard to believe how easy it is. Federal, Nosler, and Rem brass are not worth a darn for forming into 257, 7mm, or 270 Weatherby, way too SOFT! All of this brass forming is a waste of time for a guy that only fires 3-5 rounds of year, of course. [/QUOTE]
