[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 1091792, member: 5219"] Not to beat this to topic to death but here is an example of where a custom reamer would have helped: [url]http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f28/wsm-casing-life-155249/[/url] The OP is getting split necks with the 270 WSM brass after two firings. Another poster said he noticed the Winchester brand WSM cases have thinner necks. Combine the use of what some called a sloppy SAMMI chamber with a FL die and the brass gets brittle fast. I suppose one could argue the chamber is not at fault but the brass is the issue. True but you are not going to get Winchester to change their brass dimensions. One could also argue don't use Win brass, also true. BUT if Win brass was all you could get then a tighter neck dimension would be the only option. Now if a reamer was made to accommodate that thinner brass neck the necks would last longer...... I asked the OP who made the rifle and haven't heard back. It would be ironic if it was a Winchester rifle. [/QUOTE]
