[QUOTE="Westernhuntr, post: 1844636, member: 112648"] How much neck clearance should I have with a loaded round? I'm using Peterson brass in my 338 NM and initially loaded diameter was .368 and fired diameter is .369. I couldn't get a bullet to slide into a fired neck without really forcing it so I skim turned the necks. Now I have 002 neck clearance with a loaded round and it's still slightly tight sliding a bullet into a fired case. I took a little more off and now a loaded round measures .004 less than a fired neck. Did I take too much off? Neck thickness is .015 [/QUOTE]
