[QUOTE="Scott3708, post: 3877099, member: 51575"] Purchased a load of LC 308 brass to resize to 8.6... didn't know all LC brass would have neck thickness around .017". So I bought the forester reamer... come to find out you can only ream once fired brass. Don't have any fired brass as no ammo available anywhere 8.6 BO. So bought a neck turning jig Hornady, but doesn't come with a 338 mandrel... so bought one of those. Annealed the brass with ugly Annealer, that worked awesome, bought lee 8.6 dies set, formed brass, trimmed brass 1.685" then neck trim to.008" a side, seated a bullet, behold it slide into chamber clunk, then slid out., ok on a roll. Now load testing, one round to lock back, 10g,thru 17g, nope no lock back. Went to 20g locked back and ejected 3:00. Aligent 1680, but she locks back. So that's a plus, these are 270 Hornady ELD. Just thought sub would lock back around 14 not 20, I'll keep trying. [/QUOTE]
