[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 2423867, member: 30902"] Just using the full length collet die with your necks uniformed in prep is probably going to give you all the help you'll ever need. I totally dismissed the idea of neck turning for years until I finally gave in and tried it once with my 6.5LRM. I then started really looking hard at my virgin brass and discovered how inconsistent neck thickness and uniformity can be even with the best quality brass I could buy. The nice thing about neck turning is that while it's a time consuming pain in the butt it only needs to be done once. If you do that and use your FL collet dies and aren't happy then you can always use a mandrel as a second step. As has been said, it's really easy to get to chasing the rabbit down holes here and there are more holes than rabbits. The question is how much time and effort you're willing to put into all of this vs how much improvement you're seeing, not to mention the extra money you can spend buying all the goodies. The latter isn't that big of a deal if you're only loading for a couple of rifles and cartridges but it can really add up if you load for 20-30 like I do on any given year. [/QUOTE]
