[QUOTE="ohiohunter, post: 1158376, member: 55230"] No, the variation would end up applying unequal force to the bullet creating drag at the points of higher tension ultimately the bullet will not engage the lands equally. You want equal tension throughout your neck to release at the same pressure engaging the rifling as square as possible. So if half your neck has .002" tension relative to the center while the other half has .005" tension the bullet will still be seated into the neck, but the higher tension will send the bullet off of its intended path due to the increased drag. The bullet will not equalize the different tensions. Hence why a neck w/ 0.01" tension will be higher pressure than a neck w/ 0.001" neck tension. [/QUOTE]
