[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 216436, member: 4191"] I would outside neck turn for 0.002-0.003" total clearance, if possible. So if your chamber neck measured 0.337" in outer diameter, I'd outside neck turn so that a loaded cartridge neck measured 0.334 to 0.335" in diameter. A tighter tolerance can help reduce case neck and bullet runout. The less you work the case neck the longer the case neck life. Also, with the cartridge loaded in your chamber, the bullet may be held in better alignment with the centerline of the bore since the neck will be held within a tighter tolerance within the chamber. With a factory barrel, you'll probably have plenty of clearance without outside neck turning. With a custom barrel and chamber, you may need to outside neck turn to obtain proper clearance... it will just depend on your chamber dimensions. [/QUOTE]
