[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 1219546, member: 13833"] A neck, in my opinion, should be approx 1.1x caliber. (depending on the length of bullet you want to shoot) Too short is not enough support for bullet alignment and limits seating depth somewhat. It also increases throat erosion by directing the flame point too much into the throat. (ex: 6.5x284) Too long after you reach these goals only adds to case length, and more importantly, increases the chance of inconsistent neck tension.....Rich [/QUOTE]
