[QUOTE="Idgunner, post: 3007141, member: 84194"] Airedale56, If I've absorbed all of that it appears to verify my decision to purchase an inside the neck reamer. Except it also advocates for an external neck trimmer, which is not my intention to purchase at this time. Maybe I've just become more sensitive to the feel of the bullet seating process. All I know is that after setting the neck bushing so that it sized the neck as close to the neck-shoulder junction as I could get it I felt pressures in the seating process that I've never felt before. The bullets that I'm using are ELDMs and the boat tale base actually sits near the shoulder-case junction so they have to slide right past the neck shoulder junction. I anneal my brass after every firing and some of these cases have been reloaded quite a few times. I've read that annealing, which helps to eliminate the effects of work hardening the brass, can also lead to the formation of donuts. Someone on here may dispute that and I'm certainly no expert. I guess I will know soon enough because the tools will be here in a reasonable amount of time and I will ream out the necks of my fired cases and see if the bullets seat as smooth as I think they should. Thanks for your input. [/QUOTE]
