Am i doing this right, necking down brass

[806guns]

Im necking down 7mm SAW brass using a hornady busbing die with two passes. 289 and 281 bushing. Then running a 250 expander ball. At this point im not pushing the shoulder down below new brass. If i go anymore i feel i will be beyond camming over the shell holder.

Yes. Shoot it. Then it will be done.

Test a piece in your chamber, that will let you know.

Barrel Mfg asked me to run the die down the neck further is why im asking. Will see when the barrel shows up how it chambers.

If you think you are going to far measure the shoulder with a gauge to see if you are bumping the shoulder back. I use a Redding die to neck down ADG 6.5 prc to 25 and there is always a piece near the shoulder that the bushing does not get.

Not the best photo but you can see the area the bushing did not get.

After having a few issues with my barrels and brass. I reached out to Preferred Barrel Blanks. Theey asked me to send them the barrels and a few pieces of my converted brass to them. After a few days they got back to me and stated the issues they found. They suggested i bump my neck 10 thou deeper with my bushing die. Well today i screwed my barrel on. Used the 7mm saw headspace gauges i rented from WTO. Tried a piece of my convert brass and the bolt wouldnt close. Ran one piece in my die set a little tighter and now my brass fits as should.
LESSON LEARNED TODAY. Just because you can set headspace with brass and a piece of tape on the back doesnt mean it works 100% of the time. This is the one time it bit me
