@Taylorbok Do you think the distance from the neck of the case to the neck junction of the chamber in those pictures is enough to possibly cause his carbon ring in the throat? I'm just asking cause it's possible that may have caused my carbon issues also.
I still have 20 brand new cases.
I'm going to load 5 over and over several times and monitor this gap. If the issue fades away as the neck stretches out closing that gap I'll be golden.
My 140 fire formed cases will be junk but that's still better than starting from scratch with new powders.
I should have some results in a couple weeks

That is more neck room than I'd like to see. I'd say about half or 1/4 of what you are showing would be ideal. Let some brass grow if you can. Sinclair makes a chamber length gauge that you can use to measure this but if you just keep an eye on it with the bore scope and don't let them get to long.
see if it helps your carbon issue. I don't have any experience with Magpro powder but it's in the ballpark of powder you should be running.
If closing up that gap solves your issue I would just chuck your brass and start with new and let it grow, IMO it wouldn't be worth losing the barrel life trying to grow the brass you have 7 rem mag brass can be had relatively cheap if you can find it.
I will try and post some pics tonight or tomorrow of a couple chambers I have for you to compare.

That's exactly what I'm going to do.
I sure appreciate you chiming in with this even if it doesnt solve my carbon issue I'd never thought to check this. I can see it causing accuracy issues as well so I'm definitely glad to have discovered it.
Learning is expensive
140 cases fired 5X = alot of wasted bullets and powder.
Plus now I have to do it all again.
My advice to anyone wanting to reload is buy a bore scope before you even buy or build a rifle. You'll thank yourself later

No worries, its not something lots of people talk about but can be an issue. Saami trim length isn't always the best option, once you have a piece of brass that fits the chamber well, (about .010" short of that lip). measure it and make that your new trim length. write it in your manual or reloading notes or what ever.That's exactly what I'm going to do.

My 36" Flexible works off Android Phone. I haven't even tried my laptop. The 'Rod' type might be worth it though. Especially with their mirror kit.
