[QUOTE="HuntingBronco, post: 2132712, member: 109398"] Need some advice. I have my Hornady 7x57 die cranked all the way down. When I put the brass in the chamber, bolt closes with more resistance than normal. I checked and everything is good except the die doesn't seem to be pushing the junction of the neck to the shoulder down far enough. Two on left are formed from 30-06, brass on right is factory 7x57 round fired in my rifle. You can see on both formed pieces a witness mark from closing the round in the chamber. I am thinking next step is to load them up and see what they look like once fired. (Am I on the right track?) First time doing this - desperate times...desperate measures. (I have had 275 Rigby brass on backorder from Midsouth for 3 months and I refuse to pay $2/ea for nosler and am not interested in PPU brass - especially when I have lots of extra 30-06 brass.)
