[QUOTE="jd5521, post: 1653142, member: 94694"] The only cartridges that gets neck turned by me are for my benchrest rigs. I even have no turn neck chambers on the prs/nrl rigs. For a hunting rifle, no way would I bother turning the necks. It's more important to me that the bullets are seated straight with minimal run-out. When shooting from field positions, I am the biggest variable, not the necks. If you don't have a match grade chamber it would not be worth turning necks IMO. Alignment, and annealing if you use old brass is where I'd spend time, provided you have checked your gun mechanicals first. (Bolt play & bedding). I prefer having concentricity around the seated bullet vs the outside of the neck. That’s why I like mandrels. But then again, it's not all about being practical. I have buddies that turn everything and for them it gives them more confidence shooting game. If it does the same for you go for it but for me it adds a step I just don’t need to do for hunting cartridges. [/QUOTE]
