[QUOTE="Topshot, post: 1058642, member: 13285"] TH, Your experience sounds exactly like what I went through, although I used a lathe to turn down the brass so that part was easy. I used Bertram brass and at step 3, turned down the long neck at that point to 20 thou thickness. Then after step 4, I dropped the thickness to 15 thou. Doing it this way the last two steps were easy but alignment with the die had to be right or the neck would catch and crush easy. Once fire formed I have had no problem. It will be interesting to see how your case capacity compares to mine. My cartridge length is 2.400". I plan to use this round for hunting but also 1200 yard competition work on windy days. The accuracy you are getting is great. [/QUOTE]
