[QUOTE="Koda_, post: 2952042, member: 121268"] Neck tension is a personal preference, several things can affect how much to choose. I personally like .003" in my gas guns as Ive had issues with inertia changing seating depth. Some cases are softer brass too like Nosler brass may warrant more neck tension (plus a crimp). Find what tension you need for your rifle and components. dont over chamfer, I know you just got a positive result but IMO .010" is a lot as the wall thickness isnt much on a 223 neck. It might depend on what bullet your using? and if its a flat base or a boatail? Hold the bullet with your fingers on the case neck as long as possible in the seating step will help keep it in line.
