[QUOTE="dok7mm, post: 2152980, member: 90080"] Position of bullet in the neck also varies with proper seating depth, so a given position to start with may effect where your bullet ends up. I handle possible donuts by getting into the shoulder when turning new brass. I also use full dies without expander balls and follow up with a mandrel. Lucky so far! Tight dies and loose chambers really over work brass and push shoulder into neck, causing quick donuts. I always figured 35* and 40* shoulders would have fewer donuts, until I had the problem with 280a.i. donuts. Traced it down to the die being tight & factory chamber. [/QUOTE]
