[QUOTE="boomtube, post: 520660, member: 9215"] "..is there a need for an actual micrometer for reloading?" Micrometer can be interesting to use but it's certainly not mandatory. "..also is there a real need to turn the necks on the brass for a factory rifle?" No, not normally. Passed a certain point turning only makes an already poor chamber fit worse. " ..also is there any need for a concentricity tool?" Need is a strong word; not many people have one so it sure isn't needed. Unless you're getting groups smaller than maybe .75 moa turning isn't likely to do a thing for you. "best to turn the cartridge as seating the bullet" I have a concentricity tool and I've never been able to see any benefit to turiing a case during seating. If a bullet starts off-axis it tends to stay that way. [/QUOTE]
