If I do this I'm afraid the arbor would be loose on 80%% of the neck and then a slight interference fit over the last 20%. (Those percentages are guesses on my part)

Has anyone tried an inside reamer on the 220 Russian case that has had the neck expanded? If I were to do this I would have to get a case holder for the 220 Russian case, i think.

My problem is getting the turning arbor in far enough to get the cutter into the brass.

Oh, man, I could use that kind of donut!

I'm having a little trouble when I turn the necks on some Lapua 220 Russian brass which has had the neck expanded up to 6mm. The turning Arbor starts into the neck with a slight amount of interferance, (which is good), but when the Arbor gets in far enough to be at the neck/shoulder junction it...

Thank you for sharing what you found works best for you. --- Todd

LOL ? good point.

You bring up something else I was wondering about. If I use more, (or less), neck tension, do I need to adjust my load with powder charge weight or bullet seating depth to make it work?

Does a little more mean 3 or 4 thou? Or more?

The general "rule of thumb" when choosing a neck bushing diameter is to subtract 0.002" to 0.003" off of the neck diameter on a loaded round. Does this hold true for the 6mm PPC cartridge?

New brass uses some of the energy of that first shot to expand the case to fill the chamber. This will basically result in the bullet velocity being lower than the next time you load the case with the same recipe. You can find a load that works well with the new brass. But then you will...

Wowzers!! Looks like you're all set for a while.

Thanks for all the excellent tips! The trigger is a Bix&Andy - probably about 1 once. My set up is a SEB NIO front rest with original bag and moderate fill. I bought it used so I don't know what the fill material is. The rear bag is an Edgewood original that I just got. I may not have had...

Thanks for all the good info!

I'm very new to benchrest shooting and noticed something that doesn't seem right but I don't know how to fix it. After I align front rest and rear bag with the target I place the rifle in the bags and moderately pound the rear of the stock into the rear bag. Then I get behind the rifle and...

Regarding posting photos ..... I think I found a button, if you scroll down a ways, that says "manage attachments" or something like that.

Thanks for the advice.

Is this a big secret so nobody wants to comment?

I ended up buying a PMA Tool Barrel Vice. Haven't used it yet but it feels heavy duty. What do you guys use between the barrel and vice jaws?

I'm interested to read about these things too.
