Anybody doing this?
My understanding is you:
-resize to about 0.1” long for base to shoulder.
-Then trim it a bit long with a chop saw or hacksaw. Then final trim in case trimmer..
-then fl size until the action will just close. Recheck oal.
After that, I’m unclear if I need to thin the necks??
They also say to never push the shoulder back again….until the action won’t close! Not sure if I want to neck size. My previous work tells me to fl size and bump the shoulder back zero on the second loading. Then about 0.002”.
I’m thinking I will:
-anneal
-resize to about 0.1” long for base to shoulder.
-Then trim it a bit long with a chop saw or hacksaw. Then final trim in case trimmer..
-anneal
-then fl size until the action will just close. Recheck oal. Trim if needed.
-COW fireform
- neck ream to get or outside turn to get a neck that is about 0.015” thick and will be 0.311 ID after firing.(I’m skipping a few steps here!)
Well, I don’t have the gun yet. Maybe the barrel will tell me something different!
