[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2446525, member: 116181"] Enough in terms of based on my experience you likely won't get setback while shooting, yes. In terms of tuning to a setting that shoots better than another setting with everything else being constant, too many variables to know until you shoot them. To go back to the top for a minute: Yes, very much so. But in combination with several other factors, to the point that I don't think there's a way to say "yes that will work" without experimenting. Sure there are common settings like 0.002" that a lot of guys say works fine, just like 0.020" off the lands works fine, but I think that's more a factor of averages than an actually precise setting that's optimized. Talking with Mike in another thread, the theoretical optimal neck setting would be where you can run a mandrel the same caliber as the bullet in and out without the neck expanding. That would mean the brass is springing back to the previous state and is holding the bullet, rather than the bullet expanding the neck. I don't know how feasible that is yet, but I'm trying to set up something to find out. [/QUOTE]
