[QUOTE="Marble, post: 979504, member: 51354"] I do turn the necks on my 300 WM and my 7mm guns. They are both factory chambers. I have a tool for inside, and outside. I have never been told how to do it. But I basically do the inside first, after resizing, then the outside. With the outside I turn the micrometer until it touches the brass then test turn it to see how much brass is taken off. It seems there is always one side with a little more metal than the other. Sometimes 2/3-3/4 of the neck will have fresh shiny metal afterwards cause there is a thinner spot. I'm not really concerned with overall diameter, just making sure the metal is all about the same in thickness. After I am done I resize again to make sure I didn't do anything goofy to the neck, then check length, chamfer in and out of the end of the neck then prime. After I am done reloading, I run each round through a concentricity gauge to see how everything turned out. Am I wrong? Or close at least? I have been reloading for 20 years, but mostly by reading the speer and nosler books and a lot of trial and error. I have two real old guys that I bounce questions off of when I see them. In the last few years I have taken much more time on each stage as I have become more picky about my ammo...and it's a good break from four kids. [/QUOTE]
