[QUOTE="dok7mm, post: 2159447, member: 90080"] I turn necks for all my rifles, half are tight neck and the others are no-turn. I start with a large amount of quality brass and find the turn needed to clean them all up to 95%. Then spec the reamer for .004" clearance. Some will be tight necked, some will be minimal standard necks. The truth is I don't believe turning will make a mediocre rifle into a shooter. I don't even know if my turning has made any of my rifles shoot tighter groups because they have never shot anything but turned brass from the start. They all shoot under 1/2 moa, but I give that credit to the rifle components, the smith and constant testing of my loading steps. If you want to turn your brass, your rifle is not going to shoot worse if done correctly, unless you have too much chamber clearance. That really overworks your brass and splits the necks. Just my 2 cents! [/QUOTE]
