[QUOTE="Lonewolf74, post: 3059695, member: 96274"] I believe another way to put what Magnum is saying is that if you size your necks to be smaller then .002 under bullet diameter then you just end up expanding that extra amount with the bullet. You effectively turn your bullet into your expanding mandrill as you seat it. This doesn’t lend any explanation why some see better groups and tighter velocity when using smaller sized necks. I don’t argue the point that you may see improvement in these areas but I do caution; are you actually seeing what you think you are? If you shot 100 shots with -.002 sized necks and another 100 with -.004 sized necks would you see the difference in group size and velocity spread? Food for thought and if anyone does this test I would be interested to hear the results. [/QUOTE]
