[QUOTE="Rich Coyle, post: 1916452, member: 70559"] For me this is not worth answering. I tested random cases against weight sorted cases, squared heads against random heads, neck turned against factory necks, neck sized against full length sized, different primers with no other change, and probably other things. To this question, though. The groups were fired at 100 yards from a concrete bench with sandbags front and rear. The rifle was a factory Savage .223 with a 26" heavy barrel in a cheap plastic stock. It received a trigger job. To do the neck sizing test I prepped all the brass the same and fired them a couple times. The neck sizing was only .100" because that's all the depth the bullets were seated. The full length cases were sized only enough to close the bolt with no resistance. The test consisted of five five shot groups of each on two different weekends. The difference in the two was .0828" with the neck sized cases "winning". A side note is the necked sized cases average about forty feet per second faster than the others. [/QUOTE]
