[QUOTE="Clucknmoan, post: 1311710, member: 80034"] Should have been more clear I guess. Not asking about "if" I should turn these necks or "how" to turn them, just asking at what stage. These aren't factory chambers I'm talking about. As far as the equipment I use, Redding comp bushing dies and K&M neck turner/expanding mandrel. In a 7/300 WM, you start with the parent case of a 300 WM and then neck it down about .010 at a time with a bushing die unless you have a custom 7/300 WM die built. Either way, same same. At what point does it make the most sense to turn your necks? When it's in the parent 300 WM state, or after you have necked it down to the 7MM state? I would say it makes more sense to turn the neck after its in the final 7mm state, especially if I am after a certain thickness for a desired clearance in a tight neck chamber or if you are just after a specific neck tension and are short on bushing sizes. I would think that necking down .024 (or so) in this case would change the thickness of the neck wall some if I had first turned at the 300 WM state. This has always been my line of thinking but I've recently heard a few other state differently. Anyone have experience with both processes? [/QUOTE]
