What does that neck mean as far as shooting factory ammo? SAAMI spec is .317. School me, please.

Tight neck. You have to trim each case neck. Sid was always big on tight neck chambering. You cannot believe how much a case neck is not concentric. I never questioned him, I just followed what he said.

If you can't trim the brass yourself there places that will do it for you. Once you have a 100 or so trimmed your good to go for while.

To quote a member…
A tight neck chamber will cause you to have to neck trimm your brass which is the process of making the neck walls thiner.
the idea is to have the neck of you chamber just slightly larger than the neck of your loaded round , this will give the bullet a "straiter" start out of the case and into the barrel lands.
