Long story short: Am experimenting with 405 gr bullets in the .444 marlin, but to seat a bullet that long in a .444 case and have it fit the chamber, I find myself having to inside-ream the case necks. Conceptually, this is not a problem, but...
I got my .429 Forster neck reamer in the mail, and it does exactly what I want it to do, but it leaves a rather sharp step inside the case where the reamer stops. Hrmmmm.... (I'm concerned about case separation here.)
Making sure of proper annealment is obviously on the checklist, but should I also alter the reamer so that it leaves a more gradual transition to full brass thickness, or am I worrying needlessly?
