[QUOTE="woods, post: 336038, member: 6042"] Brass neck thickness will vary by manufacturer and lot number. You can open up the neck so that it is like a factory neck and have lots of clearance and not worry about it or you can buy the equipment and learn to neck turn and control the situation. IOW, if he opened up the neck to fit your brass that you have now, it may not be enough for the next set of brass you get or it may give you a lot of clearance if you get thinner brass. A lot of neck clearance is not a bad thing and lots of factory guns work very well, but that is not considered as advantageous as a tight neck and setting your clearance at a certain amount like .003". You will work your brass neck a little less. If you get a neck turner you can use it on any of your guns, if you pay the gunsmith to open up the neck then that works for that gun only. If you ever want to shoot factory ammo in a tight necked custom chamber then you would have a problem. If you wanted to ever sell the gun it would create a problem. Pros and cons on both sides.
