[QUOTE="nheninge, post: 261502, member: 13085"] Saying you wouldn't neck turn brass just because your gun has a barrel with a factory neck is absolutely ridiculous. Some factory barrels shoot pretty darned good. You neck turn for uniform neck thickness (and therefore uniform neck tension on the bullet). This concept that taking a thousandth off will make a "sloppy neck chamber sloppier" is complete B.S. IMHO. A bullet has to leave the cartridge neck centered on the rifling and it will not do that if it is not [U][B]released[/B][/U] concentrically around the neck of the cartridge. Neck turning does not center the bullet on the rifling (good brass prep and a good barrel does). Neck turning DOES ensure all the brass surrounding the bullet behaves the same way as it expands regardless of tight neck, no turn neck, or factory neck. [/QUOTE]
