[QUOTE="Remmy700, post: 1413768, member: 36564"] Well in my simple mind and again I am a novice and learning everyday but neck tension has more to do with pressure than muzzle velocity. The more grip force the brass has on the bullet the more energy it takes to move that bullet out of the brass and down the path of least resistance, the barrel. Now where you will run into problems is with brass that has varying neck wall thickness and you are sizing all your brass with one bushing. And I have done this on purpose as a test. And what I found out is those strange flyers that occasionally happen, I mark and inspect that brass when I return home from the range and almost on every occasion it was because that piece of brass varied in neck thickness from the rest in that group fired. Now accuracy is 100% in what the nut behind the trigger thinks is accurate. I may think 1/4 moa is accurate, you may think 1 moa is accurate so some of these vague little things may not make no difference in a 1 moa gun. However, when you are trying to keep groups within 1/2 or better these little anomalies come to light. Now does that increased pressure from bullets with more neck tension matter? Well yeah, you will see them on your chrono and typically in your groups. Those are what open your SD's up from single digits to double digits. [/QUOTE]
