[QUOTE="heikki02003, post: 322732, member: 15200"] Have a look at my response here (I'm 284win): [URL="http://www.snipershide.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Main=94140&Number=1032991#Post1032991"].338 LM smoked necks - Sniper's Hide Forums[/URL] It's a common problem with the 338LM and Retumbo. Retumbo is a very slow burning powder. If you read my reponse to that thread, more powder solved the problem, but I think you might be getting near the hot side. Which bullet are you using? I can almost guarantee you have a factory chamber. With too much neck/chamber clearance, heavy 338LM brass, and a slow burning powder, your are not getting a good neck to chamber seal. If you're happy with the accuracy I woudn't sweat it. The fireforming process might have something to do with it also. Your brass needs to be fireformed to your chamber. I often get smoked necks when fireforming. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
