[QUOTE="Bob Wright, post: 2150758, member: 104363"] When your custom rifle arrives, maybe annealing, but if it's a tight neck chamber and run of the mill brass, turning necks may be the first step. Both of my rifles built by 2 different smith's all had tight necks and velocity spread was a problem due to brass wall thickness. By finding out that problem, my groups tightened and ES dropped. All my production guns are normally larger neck chambers but the brass really gets worked in sizing. You might ask your Smith for the neck chamber dimension or get a reamer print. When you start shooting it, you can make reasonable decisions on loaded and fired neck diameters. .004 clearance of those two diameters (loaded brass vs chamber necks) is working well for me. Annealing came into the picture just a couple of years ago, and it improved my brass sizing and neck tension goals. Brass longevity is a big plus. [/QUOTE]
