[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2118093, member: 101791"] From all the reading I have done on turning necks, you want at lease .012 to .013. One thing for sure is you want to come up with an even cut all the way round if wanting to leave more thickness on the neck case. Bullet tension is even all the way around. Another way to think about it is your chamber is perfectly round, and the neck isn't. The bullet goes into the neck and it's perfectly round. When fired the case neck expands, and with the neck being uneven it pushes the bullet to one side more than the other starting it down the tube offset. it all depends on what you want out of your hand loading. If you are going to long range shooting, then more needs to be put to obtain the grouping need to do the job. I am not much on yards beyond 500yds, but I want tight groups. my rifle sighted in correctly, so my shot placement is there. The only person to blame is you if you miss or pour shot placement.
