    I used military 7.62 brass necked down to 243. It worked OK without neck turning because the chamber had typically generous factory dimensions which I verified by taking a cerosafe casting. However, i ran into a problem: due to the large amount of movement of brass the necks started cracking. This was solved by annealing the necks after forming.
