willmckee300 H&H from 375
Anybody formed 300 from 375 and if so how well did it go? I'd assume necks will need turning and possibly annealing as well?

rcraigAccording to Donnelly:
Anneal case neck, FL size in 300 H&H die, square case neck, chamfer.

LamarI'd try without the anneal and just size till they chamber.

willmckeeI've not found annealing case necks all that necessary. I did when forming 357 AMP from 44 but that was a really extreme change.
I would expect some thickening and a need for turning to true up and restore concentricity.

Hipshoot.429 (.44) to .358 = .071 difference
.375 to .30 =.067 difference

PanchoI get you have surplus 375 brass but when I was short 300 H&H, I resized 300 Wby. A straightforward process with very little trouble.
