[QUOTE="vancewalker007, post: 1644957, member: 66917"] Sounds like you are on the right track. The Rem cases are good to learn on for turning as you will screw up some. I thing FL sizing the cases then checking for run-out is a reasonable and will find the real outliers. A cursory check of your loaded rounds will alert you to any seating anomalies. There are tons of good neck turning videos out there that cover a lot of the little mistakes you can make. A couple of common errors are not trimming the cases to uniformed length and forgetting to run the cutter up on the shoulder slightly. I hope you have a power turner ;-). On your neck turning size question, at a minimum you need to turn them to the minimum thickness they start out at to clean up most of the neck. So if your tube micro says 0.013 is the thinnest then 0.013 is you min number to go for. On the those Rem cases I would bet you see raw thicknesses of 13-14.5 maybe even 12.5. Through trial and error I've found once you get down below 0.012 the neck integrity can get iffy. I've seen shot cases ejected with the necks toasted off of them that my father turned to 0.011 in his 22BR. The nice thing about having turned necks is you can easily calculate which bushing you need to get the number of thous of pressure you want on you neck tension. If you've never loaded Berger VLDs before try them very close to the lands and then 80-100 thou off first. They have never failed to shoot for me in one of those 2 positions. [/QUOTE]
