[QUOTE="woods, post: 277778, member: 6042"] Neck turning for a factory chamber will be most beneficial if you are using a bushing type die, a FL die without the expander, a FL die that has had the neck honed to a certain dimension or a custom made die without an expander. What all those have in common is that the dies size the outside of the neck to a specific circular diameter and any variances in neck thickness are pushed to the inside of the neck. If you neck turn to a consistant neck thickness then there are no variances to push to the inside. If you use a Lee Collet or a regular die with an expander then neck turning for a factory chamber will not be a "nit". If you have a custom tight necked chamber then neck turning becomes necessary. Unless you just happen to have brass with the perfect neck thickness to give you the bullet grip you want. [/QUOTE]
