[QUOTE="Coyote Shadow Tracker, post: 2159392, member: 116439"] I personnaly turn my necks and know a lot of PRS shooters that don't. Most of them have their chamber reamer matched to the bullet & brass. The reason I turn my necks is to make sure that the neck brass is near perfect same thickness and concentric. Then running through macth dies with neck sizer die bushings. When loading and getting the bullet centered and same "Neck tension" for each cartridge gives me consistent velocity. It is another step in the reloading process, but after the process is done you don't have to do it again. I turn new brass and re-turn after two firings. I use K&M neck turner with a small electric screw driver. You have to make sure that you do the process correctly or you can damage the brass. Turning too fast and tight can "Gual" the brass and also don't want to cut into the shoulder and you can also end up getting "dounuts" inside the neck to shoulder. I turn to 0.013" thickness on most cases. I primarly use Lapua brass, which is very consistent to begin with. [/QUOTE]
