[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2413340, member: 116181"] It's a tuning option. Controlling the length of the neck sized makes a large impact on hoop strength/neck tension/ whatever you want to call it so when you're looking for less grip it's a way to reduce further. You can't realistically go less than 0.0005" because of mandrel tolerance limits, so you can try something like full length 0.0005" fit, half length 0.001" fit, full length 0.001" fit, half length 0.015" fit, etc. The math isn't that linear but you get what I'm working towards of hold everything else constant and adjust only interference fit and see what it does on paper. Lee FCD is also a tuning tool, especially with monos. I somewhat disagree with the blanket statement that crimp enhances accuracy because there are many situations where crimping isn't necessary to obtain more than acceptable results. It's a tool in the box, just like a mic neck bushing die and a body die. Nothing wrong with cartridge prep. Do the best you can to get what you need out of a rifle. Balance accuracy and precision with durability and utility. Taking care of brass is an easy job for me, so I generally do it all the time so there's one less thing that can go wrong down the road. Occasionally I use random pickup brass in multiple rifles also 🤣 [/QUOTE]
