[QUOTE="fireball168, post: 191915, member: 8526"] I've built a .358 wildcat, I call the 358 BFG, trimmed to 1.620" to be legal for Indiana deer as a pistol caliber rifle. PTG made the reamer using .012" brass neck thickness, which has been working out well. Here's how I would prep my brass(and how I have for the WSSM's I own). Full length size. You'll likely find .010"+ length varation on average with the brass after full length sizing. Trim to length with Wilson trimmer. The inside of the necks look like hell on all the factory brass, buy the inside neck reamer from Wilson and cut the inside while its on the trimmer. Deburr the flash hole and cut the primer pocket depth. Cut the outside neck diameter to your desired O.D. using a Sinclair neck turner with the proper mandrel. Neck size with whatever bushing is appropriate. I think 28-30" of barrel will be fine, remember you're dealing with case capacity very similar to a 243/308(57.5 grains of water on the .358 version I mention above). [/QUOTE]
