That said, I have had to pull hundreds of rounds apart over the years because I made mistakes.

Yeah next time I'll triple check.

My 243 was the only rifle I had that would develop neck donuts too. Have a check for this. Easy test is if a projectile will pass through a fired neck. If no go you’ve the dreaded donut. Throw them away if so. If you’ve not FL sized then brass flow is probably going to be reduced though.

I have a full length die. Just always read that once it's been fire formed to the chamber then neck sizing is the best thing to do.

Yes. I have some that will let a projectile go through the neck.

How do you fix the neck donuts?
