that's pretty spicy! What rifle do you have that accepts 3.7"? I load 215 Bergers to 3.6" and they barely fit in a 700.

A late edition end of the line Rem sendero. Tried to get it fixed twice. Third time they gave me a different end of the line rifle. It has this much freebore. I installed a Wyatts long box with the use of a Dremel. Not anything like P. Ham does but it works. I pushed them faster tonight as I'm just on the edge of pressure. Probably in the 2930-50 range. Didn't bring the chrono along tonight. Shooting some larger groups to prove or disprove what I'm getting. Not the 30 shot groups others suggest, just enough to make believe what I am getting is consistent. It currently is about hunting temps now. I am not jamming the lands.

Working on a batch of 300wsm Norma brass. 3rd firing and most of them have the dreaded donut, no harm in uniforming the necks at the same time the donut is being removed.

OK, whats the dreaded donut? Is that the point where the brass is stretching and closer to the end of serviceable life ?

Where the inside neck meets the shoulder junction. Brass eventually flows from the shoulder to the inside of the neck creating a ring or "donut" at the junction. If you've ever seated bullets and felt more resistance or friction about halfway through the stroke, it's most likely a donut. The end cutter is caliber specific and only removes the donut, without cutting the inside of the neck. Maybe someone else can come along and give a little bit better description.

That makes sense. If you full size, does it prevent this? I was thinking more along the lines of a case separation that shows up first as I shiny ring slight above a belted magnum belt.
