[QUOTE="DJ Fergus, post: 1960489, member: 93895"] One more thing to add and I don't know if this will apply to your situation or not. I've got a friend who bought one of the big savage F-class 30" barrel 6.5-284 rifles. He was a pretty good hand loader. He couldn't get it to shoot with h4350 & 140 Berger's. He decided to turn the necks on his lapua cases. After that it would shoot bug holes. I'm assuming he didn't have enough neck clearance. Measure your fired case neck diameter and add .001 that number. That will probably be what your chamber's neck diameter is. Then measure your loaded rounds neck and subtract that from what your chamber neck diameter is. I'm thinking .004" difference would be good. [/QUOTE]
