OK. Guys. Just ordered a Willis die. Thank you all for your suggestions. Will let you know how it works out

cape cove, I do have a factory .300 Weatherby Euromark and load for it. Were you thinking of some way to use that die?

No, kiwikid. The higher # sizes the case more. When I bought them many years ago I measured the thickness of each and the higher # is thinner thus driving the case further into the die. Dr. Vette - I did try the .008 shell holder and started to get warping on the shoulder. I don't have the...

Thanks MM. I have both an of the rack .257 and 300 Wbee and have not had any issues. But you are definitely on the right track. I'm just not sure where to go from here. Thanks for you suggestion CC. Just above the belt is fine, its the area around shoulder transition that is the issue.

I had a custom 7mm bee put together for me a number of years ago. The guys on this forum helped a lot in selecting components, etc. I initially bought 7 boxes of new unprimed weatherby brass and one box of weatherby factory ammo for a baseline. When I shot the fact ammo for the first time, I...

The load is 86.5 gr Retumbo; Fed Mag primer; Wby case; COL 3.695; vel 2943 out of a 26in barrel. This is just a gr or so under max in my gun; so work up to this load.

I use that load. What info would you like?

I use 73.5gr H1000 with COL 3.316 yielding 3408 fps. This is close to max in my gun (.257 Wby Mark), so be sure and work up to this load.
