[QUOTE="wallypedal, post: 688328, member: 7107"] All good info, just want to mention a couple things I didn't see brought up. First, some of the $20 calipers aren't great, and measuring with the knife edges takes some practice. I like using a regular micrometer on case necks. Second, not all .257" bullets are .25700". With as many variables involved here, the numbers can stack either direction enough to require a bushing change for a bullet/case batch. Neck turning helps remedy some of that. It does get down to how much neck tension you want, how much neck re-working you want going on and how anal you want to be about it. Some of us enjoy chasing the ultimate, but there is a point of diminishing returns. Really good match and hunting ammo is made all the time without worrying about .001" of additional tension. Loose is no good obviously. Wallypedal [/QUOTE]
