[QUOTE="Lonewolf74, post: 3071862, member: 96274"] One thing to keep in mind is depending on the brass manufacturer and how their headspace tolerance is you may or may not be able to fire a conventionally loaded or factory loaded round. I had this issue with my last wildcat based on a 338 Norma case. I designed the reamer with the standard -.004 for headspace so there would be a slight crush fit for forming. Once I received my Peterson brass I found it was .011 short of CIP spec headspace so I would not have a crush fit regardless. I sized up the neck to create a false shoulder so I could form my brass. You could perhaps get away with just jamming the bullet, I don’t entirely trust that however. [/QUOTE]
