[QUOTE="TOM H, post: 1656078, member: 306"] I use Rem 35 Whelen brass and fire form for AI. My Whelen brass length is 2.4880" and neck thickness .0115" to .0130". I decide to form 35 Whelen case using Win 30-06,Rem 280,Rem 270. I opened neck with with 30cal expander, then used 338 expander, then 35 cal expander. I then measure case length ,Win 2.4875",Rem 280 2.4875" and 270 case 2.4880" and I never trimmed case to start or measure them and I never measure neck thickness. The Win about best it varied from .0115" to .0120", the 280 case it varied .0115" to .0130" and 270 case .0130" to .0140". I haven't fire any but just forming, didn't tell they be worst than new 35 Whelen I'm using. If I was really worried about it I would of taken 30-06 Lapua case and formed that.
