[QUOTE="merbeau, post: 1705458, member: 38494"] This is the exact method I use for my comp rifles. I use Lapua brass which has very uniform neck thickness and the Sinclair carbide mandrel and holder. Your rifle may like either 0.001 or 0.002 tension the best. Mine liked 0.002 but found that I had to adjust powder charge after adding this step to my reloading to maintain prior accuracy. Of course all of this is for a comp rifle. Not sure such effort is necessary for hunting round. There is a possibility with rounds in the magazine with light neck tension upon recoil having the bullet move deeper into the case causing potentially an increase in pressure. I personally have not experienced this but then my rifles are not heavy recoiling 6.5x55 Swede SE, 25-284 Win and 243 Win. [/QUOTE]
