[QUOTE="bookworm, post: 572692, member: 13840"] Thanks for the feedback...follow up question or two. When you develop a dummy round (whether for smith or Pacific) you say that the base of the bullet should be somewhere near the middle of the neck. Does that mean the flat bottom of the bullet near the middle of the neck or where the last part of the bullet contacts the neck should be around the middle. Most of us shoot boat tails so I'm guessing it is the latter so you don't risk not having enough bullet-neck engagement. Is there a rule of thumb on the minimum amount of bullet-neck engagement you want to have? I would have thought that you want to have at least half the neck engaged with the bullet....but maybe that is more than you need? Also, what is the cost of the custom reamer? [/QUOTE]
