[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 277185, member: 12"] Your problem will not be getting the neck tension the same initially, it will be keeping it the same after firing! They work harden every time you fire them and not always to the same degree. You will find cases that are inherently tighter than others and that is on turned cases too. In the 1k BR game we have gone thru every evolution trying to do that. Some guys sort their cases with pin gauges after sizing to the .0005 and do it that way. Lot of work, but seems to work for them. Others use the KM arbor press with dial indicator on top and use arbor seating dies and only use rounds that seat measuring the same force. All others are sighters. Others buy cases by the 1000 or more, weigh and sort, fire them 3-4 times and throw away and start all over. I have done both and at the end of the day, I bought an annealing machine and anneal every time. I use an KM press and if one case seats harder than the others it goes into the sighter row. That seems to be the easiest and fastest. BH [/QUOTE]
