[QUOTE="Centre Punch, post: 127517, member: 3048"] Hi BillR, The standard neck diameter for 25-06 is .290" so fireforming with factory ammo is completely out of the question, as is handloaded ammo with standard brass. You are going to have to neck turn your cases in order to get them to chamber in your rifle. You say you have a .282" neck, based on that diameter a finished round neck dimension wants to be no more then .280", preferably .279". This will give you .0015" clearance between your round and your chamber neck wall, adequate to allow easy bullet release and not effect the accuracy gained by having a tight neck chamber. Ian.
