No, the long bullet could still be seated the same and short bullets could be seated out near the lands (which is probably not that important either). Like I said, I just like longer necks. GD


You said 308 length brass, so that's the same as the 260 which had the ogive in the neck problem. Pushing the shoulder back to lengthen the neck doesn't fix the problem of the case mouth being too far forward on the bullet.

I thought the problem was one of having the bullet below the juncture of neck and shoulder and not one of wanting to have the shank of the bullet 1/10 in ch ahead of the case mouth. In the end, I don't really care; I just like longer necks! GD
