After getting a thread cut off the barrel and the chamber reamed it is looking pretty sexy. No more silly ventura shoulder! The 300 Weatherby AI case is on the right, compared to a virgin 300 Weatherby case.. ![[Linked Image]](http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b297/Shoalcove/Wolf/RoyAA.jpg)

93 degree shoulder?
That shorter neck should make it more accurate, I overheard in the gunshop today that longer necks are inaccurate and cause bullet instability!
Anybody who seriously concerns themselves with the adequacy of a Big 7mm for anything we hunt here short of brown bear, is a dufus. They are mostly making shidt up. Crunch! Nite-nite!

It's actually greater than 40 degrees, but for the lack of a better term I called it Ackley Improved.

I've got a few 375H&H cases that look just like that.... After I tried to turn them into 340 Weatherby's.... Also have a couple of Better Bob's that were once 7x57 AI that look similar...Got a couple with double rolled shoulders... I guess I missed the new fad...

Steely Some of these guys are smarter than they look. Or do they just know you too well.

From the way the mouth of the case is turned into the side of the bullet it looks like someone forgot the seating die doesn't go all the way down to the shellholder, lest the crimping shoulder get involved much too soon. Were you getting ready for another Crown Royal box at 700 yards test while you were loading?
