[QUOTE="hhmag, post: 28450, member: 1556"] I had a similar problem with both a 6.5x.284 and a .30-06 AI. I did not neck turn at all, but some old guru asked me how closely my dies matcked my chamber. I ended up re-reaming the 6.5x.284 with a Norma reamer and ended the problem. I also had very little sizing to do afterwards. I set up a FL die (redding) to neck size, and only had to size about 1/2 of the neck and never bumped the shoulder. I was only loading to about 2850, but it was tighter than I could shoot. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] The .30-06AI was a different story, I ended up oversizing the flash hole a bit and switched to non magnum primers. It seemed to me the brass was "flowing" forward faster than normal trimming and sizing could handle. I lost about 150 fps, but es went down to about 30 and the best groups were sub 6" at 750meters (the longest range I had access to at the time). [/QUOTE]
