[QUOTE="birdiemc, post: 1582458, member: 29632"] I would imagine it has to do with the work hardening of the brass. I experienced something almost similar last weekend. I had some brass that was sent to me by an experienced reloader ln this forum that he had annealed. I had to full length size it because it was way to large for my chamber, after sizing, trimming, chamferring, deburring flash holes and uniforming primer pockets, I went to turn necks, there were I think 3 that would not fit into my pilot which is turned to the exact size of my expander. This was brass that had just been annealed and just the normal prep and full length sizing work hardened it to the point that the case neck sprung back undersized. I actually checked with pin gages and it was .001" undersized. So I hit it with the torch, sized again and perfect. All that to say work hardening brass can cause it to spring back differently from case to case resulting in varied neck tension, which will most definitely effect precision. [/QUOTE]
