[QUOTE="Orange Dust, post: 1777692, member: 92702"] One more thing. Doing this improves consistency in neck tension. It also lowers bullet runout. I have serious doubts that the runout part will improve accuracy unless you skim turn the necks. Ditto on the consistency. When skim turning, you only want to take metal off 50-60% of the neck. In other words knock off the high side. I do this for all cases for my long range rifles unless they require a turn neck to a specific dia. I feel doing this is a necessary step to getting the most benefit from using the expanding manderl die. Once you set the cutter, keep it the same for every case you have, no matter how much it takes off. [/QUOTE]
