[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2724196, member: 101791"] BOTH! I have change to tighter chamber size in my neck area. In my new rifles built or being built. that for me, and I use new brass to start with. Turn before going futher. In my older rifles. I am going to and have turned necks for those rifles. I am thinking I wouldn't cut the thickness as much due to the chamber size there. In the pass I just cut to make sure my thickness was consistent. At that time I noted that my grouping tighten up some. Now all the reading I have done over the pass few years, I have changed my ways and cutting my brass to start with. I will have to see how that comes out. A late friend of mind were able to achieve in most of our rifles in the 1/2" area @ 100yds. Only one that I recall was larger than that. I have a 22mag in a Ruger 77-22 mag model. I had a hard time getting to settle down. I got to about 1" @ 100yds. That rifle I had to take out over 1/8" out of the forearm to get it to group that tight. That was better than 3" to 4" groups to start with. I tried different ammo that there was some help. I think I went with CCI Max loads if I remember correctly. [/QUOTE]
