I load alot of 300 Win Mag. 200 gr. Sie Match, never bell case mouth, just uniform the necks, actually just clean up the necks not a complete turning. Its my LR Varmint rifle. Slight bevel to inside case mouth.
I built it off a Savage BP'd action, Lilja HV bbl. 28" Choate Ultra Varmint stock,Basix trigger set to 8 oz.Niteforce 5.5x22. Areal tack driver. Keeps 3 shots into 1/2" at 500 yds. Five shot groups hover 7/8 to an inch at the same distance but that is me, the rifle will do better, the blasting with my 475 Linebaugh doesn't do much for my LR precision shooting. But back to your question, you don't have to bell the case mouth.
