[QUOTE="Deleted member 46119, post: 845776"] I'm wondering of the obvious was missed. Is it .002 on radius or diameter. Example: all my 30 cals have an internal neck diameter after sizing that is .304. To me this is a .002 per 'side' neck tension. I check this often as it is not something I want varying much. Your gunsmith may mean exactly as my example shows. An internal diameter .004 or .005 less than bullet diameter. For general loading, my instructor/mentor, reading and practice leads me to that standard measure. For special forms of shooting, a neck internal diameter after sizing that is as 'low' as .002 less than the bullet diameter seems to work for some. Usually described around the same prose as 'tight' necks and 'match' chambers where neck turning is required. [/QUOTE]
