[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 488479, member: 1521"] Whomever among you that have 'bent necks' needing any straightening, have you considered how you CAUSED this? Also keep in mind that all the notions about 'floating' FL sized chambered cartridges, should be qualified 'only with bullets jammed into lands, and with excess headspace'. Otherwise, there is no floating(not even theoretical), and the notions fall apart completely. Competitive BR shooters FL size for a number of reasons, with little related to hunting cartridge accuracy. It's pratically futile to argue concentric -vs- straight ammo benefits, as nobody has proven one performance betters the other. But certainly there are huge differences between them. I produce ammo that I verify is straight, because with that it is also concentric. It represents a low sum of errors from my entire reloading system and strategy. Basically, it's the best I can achieve. I do not believe this can be achieved with heavily FL sized cases. Nor do I rationalize that it doesn't matter, regardless of what competitors do. You can buy tools that provide the low readings you want. Bend necks to get readings you want.. But to ignore the causes of your runout seems pure lazy to me. Seriously, why even bother to do it? Do you really expect to improve with shortcuts? [/QUOTE]
