[QUOTE="Gene, post: 684113, member: 7402"] In benchrest, everything needs to be consistent; thats the name of the game. First, turn necks enough to keep a loaded neck about .002-.004" below chamber diameter. Get good equipment, learn to turn necks consistently. Use a tubing micrometer to check neck thickness. Always seat bullets to the same depth. Shoot naked bullets. No residue should be allowed to accumulate in the necks and do not use any compounds to make the necks or bullets release more consistent. I never tumble cases, its not necessary. I do run each fired case thru a nylon brush on my RCBS Chargemaster after each firing. You can see the soot fall out. You can compare ES and SD with a chronograph, using various methods of case preparation. This will tell you what works best. I had a K&M belows press, and did not like it. Just measur4 bullet seating by feel. Where did you hear this? All brass must not work the same or release the same. [/QUOTE]
