[QUOTE="Leatherstocking, post: 756356, member: 59238"] Thought I replied to this at lunch time, but it is not showing up. [B]This is a serious safety issue[/B]. Adequate neck tension is vital to safety. Bullet setback, where the bullet is pushed further into the case by recoil can cause serious overpressure problems, including ruining your rifle, and injury or death. It is important to test each loaded round for neck tension. I drill a hole in a block of wood about 3/16, depends on bullet size and geometry. This protects the bullet tip from deforming. Stick the pointy end in the hole, and push hard on the case. If the bullet moves, DO NOT SHOOT IT. [/QUOTE]
