[QUOTE="woods, post: 244956, member: 6042"] Some of the benchrest guys shoot with no neck clearance and just seat another bullet, but they are shooting mild load in perfect chambers with match bullets. .001" is not considered enough clearance in a hunting gun. Any trash will prohibit chambering or jam at the neck and could cause serious pressure problems. When you fire all the imperfections are going to be pushed to the inside of the neck when you fire the case and the neck will fire form to the chamber and the outside will be as concentric as your chamber is cut. IMO, you are walking a fine line and in a high pressure case like the 300 Wtby could be asking for trouble. [/QUOTE]
