Any trouble with Weatherby shoulder?

Is the double radius shoulder on a 340 Weatherby cartridge present any problems to the reloader, compare to regular cartridges such as 30-06?

Is it just as simple to control headspace with the shoulder (rather than the belt) on a Weatherby cartridge as on a regular belted magnum such as 300 WM?

I shoot 270, 7mm, 300, 340, and 375 Weatherby's. I've never found the the radiused shoulder to be a problem, but I can see where it could be. Once brass is fired in the chambers of my rifles, I neck size only. It seems to work out fine so far. - Dan

The only problem it ever causes is if you neck Wbys down by a couple calibers in one go, such as 416 to 338, then they tend to collapse.
