Do any of you play with it or set it and tweak the loads? One of my rifles seems to really like .004-.005. Test load shown.
It got me side tracked because I usually target .002ish and leave it for all rifles.
Yes I agree. I used to turn all my necks period. Got away from it using mandrels but think I'm going to do it again even using a mandrel. It's easy and makes everything concentricI've started to use 4.
After spring back I'm thinking 3.5 net
Brings me back to neck turning again, I dont do it yet. But it would have to contribute to consistency when manipulating the OD and ID.
And i'm annealing after each firing now.
Ageeed. I did test with lesser tension and it's not even close to that. Just got my little brain to thinking.I've seen reports of guys having success with .004. I think it's the same thing you sometimes see when using a light taper crimp. I would say you will need more data points. 4 shots is not a big sample size.
If I had a max load near the lands I might back it off a little. My belief is that a light crimp from say a lee factory crimp or a little extra tension gives a more consistent bullet release and can increase pressure slightly. I also think a little more tension can help if your neck thickness has some variation. Of course I could full of bull too haha.If you change neck interference, (tension), do you need to re-tune the load to see if it made a difference?
