Hi
I am new to tight necks and necking up cases, I have just started shooting a 284 win in F open and naturally purchased Lapua 6.5 * 284 necked them up and turned the necks to suit a .312 diameter, on final inspection it appears that a donut has formed on the inside and at the intersection point of neck and champher . I have 7mm cutter that suits my K&M neck turner but was hoping for some information from some people with more experience, any input would be appreciated as I am sure with the amount of f open shooters who shoot the 284 win this has been dealt with often.
Thanks in advance

Like you've suggested, I use the k&m cutter pilot. No donuts. Used the same setup to create 260 brass from. 243 before good 260 brass became available

Richard Utting sums it up pretty well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EyJ9KkE2pVc

Might sound silly but wouldn’t reaming the internal of the neck solve the issue?

Hi Scott , yes I’ve formed up cases from 6.5 284 . I can only say that my boat tail junction is above the donut and doesn’t pose a problem fo me . May have to throut out a bit more freebore ??

I love how he’s using the “so inaccurate” lee hand press that no one could ever produce accurate ammunition with. Lol

I love my lee hand press.
