That is a gorgeous rifle.
America needs to understand that our troops are not 'disposable'. Each represents a family; Fathers, Mothers, Sons, Daughters, Cousins, Uncles, Aunts... Our Citizens are our most valuable treasure; we waste far too many.

All the extra fussing around like reaming, neck turning is a waste of time. In a hunting rifle you will not see any appreciable improvement, a rifle built to benchrest specs is quite a different story. RCBS tapered expandar button arrived today. It does fit on the CH rod and it works great with little effort. I sized ten pieces of 308 brass to 358 and measured the neck thickness with a pin mic. Largest difference is under .0006 so there is no need to turn necks. Thanks for the help.

Load some ammo see if chambers without effort and no early pressure sign. Son's 358 is tight of chamber for simpley necking up 308 brass or at least any we tried so far is too tight with out turning necks

While many dies have more-tapered expander balls than they used to a few years ago, the elliptical expander on the Hornady dies makes for very easy neck expansion--the reason my .358 Win. dies are Hornadys. They make turning .308's into .358's really easy. Yep, what Johnny said ... plus it really helps to use a VLD neck chamfering tool heavily on the insides of the necks. Also, grease the inside of the necks with lube of some kind. I've tried STP, Redding, Hornady and all they all work well. kd

We do use new hornsdy dies perisl die wax , but still get the "donut" with the brass we've tried plus the chamber is tight

I really doubt the chamber is that tight but I will check before I load a bunch.
