[QUOTE="COBrad, post: 808758, member: 1940"] Well, it saves a step in my routine. For an accurate bolt action I use a bushing type neck die and a body, or shoulder bump die, then seat with a competition seating die. I have a couple custom guns and a Cooper that are accurate enough to make use of bench rest quality reloads. The 7 mag I use for long range varmints utilizes a tight neck chamber and run out of my neck sized reloads averaged .001 the last time I measured. Like wise I use neck turned brass on my Cooper 22-250, to keep neck variation within .0005. My elk rifle is another custom built by Kirby Allen. I am using Norma brass that has been sorted for neck thickness variation of .001. I find there is no point getting real picky with bench rest type reloading technique on the average factory rifle, as they do not shoot well enough anyway. On these rifles, as well as my AR's, I use a FL die set to move the shoulder back a couple thou. [/QUOTE]
