[QUOTE="wnroscoe, post: 175847, member: 6698"] Very beneficial input. I have some questions for completeness of the analysis: 1. Was the sizing stem straightened? No. Factory stem, nomds. 2. Was the expander ball polished? I've tried polishing the expander ball in the past and yes, it helped. I feel that a carbide ball would be best though, if one was so inclined to use it. 3. Was the expander ball or sizing stem free-floated? No. I set the stem in line with the flash hole and locked it down. When I started turning my necks at first, I would turn about 70%. I now turn 100%, just to clean up fully. I just finished a 6mmXC project, full custom. It has a .273" no turn neck and will be a Tact/Comp Gun. We'll see how it shoots. As far as a "countering perspective", thinning case necks does coincide with having to size the necks more than .005" which I feel is unavoidable with factory chambers. You just have to learn to deal with what you have and what it takes to make it shoot. There is a Tractor Trailer load of factory rifles out there that will flat out shoot. The problem is their owners dont know how to make them shoot, thats the difference between the readers here and them. The readers here are getting it done. [/QUOTE]
