[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 782618, member: 5302"] When the spread in neck tension (called release force in the ammo industry) increases, so does muzzle velocity. It's typically about 20% about the average amount. Lighter is always better than heavier for accuracy purposes. But too little won't hold the bullet in place during normal handling. A .001" smaller case mouth diameter (after sizing) than bullet diameter is about right for most uses for bullets up to 200 grains. [/QUOTE]
