[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 366125, member: 1521"] It's a tough question Frog.. What cartridge? What use? What kind of chamber? Do you have the resources to pickup alot of brass? How important to you is really straight ammo? I ask because a 1/2moa potential hunting gun from a SAAMI chamber, with factory dies, might not reward turning/culling efforts compared to other areas of focus. Especially if your bogged down with many guns to reload for. Afterall, you hesitate to take on this turning load,, to go for pure perfection, for it's sake. And that flags me that you don't want to 'waste' any efforts. Will cleaning up the necks directly improve the gun's performance? No. Turning is done to produce lower tension -consistantly, and to reduce runout. This can reduce ES, and eek out possibly 1/10th better short range grouping. Maybe 1/4 better LR grouping. It will do nothing for accuracy, without diligent combinations that benefit from it(like a camshaft in an engine). But if this gun is your main project,, your immediate passion,, hell yea make perfect ammo and get the most from it.. [/QUOTE]
