[QUOTE="Tiny Tim, post: 2874789, member: 87887"] Is it possible that the neck is work hardened from the first neck expansion step and is now beyond the yield point of the shoulder area? Could try annealing just the neck, or possibly modifying your .338 mandrel to have a more gradual entry taper. Perhaps try a different lube (I forget if you stated what type you were using). [/QUOTE]
