[QUOTE="Weston, post: 1083664, member: 37187"] I can't seem to get enough neck tension with my new 300 WM. I'm seating the bullets (208 A MAX) at the furthest I can to still fit in the TIKKA T3 magazine, which is right at 3.365" COAL. My issue is that there is hardly any neck tension and I'm having to use a crimp to secure the bullets. the bullets do not seat by hand and I'm thinking that it is seated pasted the bearing surface. I can push the seated bullets into the cartridges fairly easily, which I am not a fan of. Has anyone run into this before? I would assume at .020 over published max coal of 3.340 (hornady) I would have had enough bearing surface to hold a production bullet. Am I mistaken? [/QUOTE]
