[QUOTE="yorke-1, post: 2198350, member: 11960"] Sorry to hear about the problems with the finished build. I've had lots of bad smith work done over the years and it's always frustrating. Just for fun, do you have an unmodified 284 case you can try chambering? Then compare that to a necked-up case without a bullet seated. Let us know if those chamber better than one with a bullet seated. You may have pushed the donut (the portion of the old case shoulder that becomes part of the new case neck) to the outside of the case neck when you necked the case up to .308 and the necks just need to be turned down. Taking a skim pass over the case necks and [B]slightly[/B] into the neck/shoulder junction may solve your problem. Fixing the short throat is a simple job with a Uni-throater from PTG. It's a very simple job to do yourself even if you're only moderately handy with a tool. This could also clean up the rough finish in the chamber throat. [/QUOTE]
