my plan is to use a redding body die to bump that shoulder back, then trim, then neck size and measure neck thickness. you could probably lube up good and just run it through a full length sizing die after trimming but I think it would be easier in steps.
agree about steps...i run tight neck chambers so neck turning is a must...i prep'd 100 pieces of 260 lapua this weekend and took about 4.5hrs and it still needs to be tumbled and neck sized.

agreed...with a .298 .299 chamber i doubt he need to turn necks as the size down is pretty minimal.
