[QUOTE="Dean2, post: 1983461, member: 26077"] It means the neck of the gun and the thickness of the case neck are not compatible. The neck of the case should expand enough to release the bullet and still be large enough after firing that the bullet slides in and out easily before the neck is resized. U see these tight necks on bench rest guns so you can reload without sizing the neck back down but they are a bad idea on a hunting gun or any rig where the brass is not turned to exactly the same thickness for all cases. You can end up with really excess pressure if the neck is too tight. [/QUOTE]
