.300 neck is normal for both a bolt gun and auto loader. You want plenty of neck tension in an auto loader and neck turning robs you of that. Go any narrower than .300 and you will need to consider turning to guarantee enough clearance for bullet release. I tried a .286 in a 6.5*47 bolt gun once and for all the effort neck turning the results were no better than no-neck SAAMI.

Get an off-the-shelf Lilja or commission PF to do one in either Bartein or Kreiger. Those three makers supply Olympic shooting teams. Anything else is a lottery.
