[QUOTE="Dan B, post: 95025, member: 367"] I'm by no means an expert but do a LOT of reloading for many different rifles and specialty handguns. My suggestion would be to have a chamber cast done to see what the actual chamber neck diameter is...then neck down 30-06 brass to 25-06, load a bullet and measure. If you are greater or equal to the chamber neck diameter then you can safely turn the necks until they are at least .001" under the chamber neck measurement. If you are under by more than that amount before you turn them then just do enough to "buzz" the necks like has been mentioned. You'll still have a thicker case neck (and less excessive expansion) in the neck area...meaning better bullet concentricity to the bore and better case life. I do the same thing for my .243's and 7mm-08...use .308 Winchester brass and neck it down. [/QUOTE]
