[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1221588, member: 2736"] To add to my earlier post, I am neither for or against certain neck lengths, just warning against the improper length for the method loaded and the bullet used. I have wildcats that have necks that are much less than One caliber, they also have lots of freebore but they shoot lights out because I use the proper bullets and seat them correctly for optimum performance. Neck lengths and seating depths will never be agreed on by all, so We will never come to a unanimous consensus and that's perfectly ok as long as you know the effects of your decision and ways to deal with it. I HAVE found that extremely short necks do a poor job of bullet alignment and a concentricity tool is recommended when loading for this condition. In My opinion, Seating a bullet very shallow in the neck just to get the bullet to touch the lands and get more case capacity is not the best solution to get accuracy or velocity. Just an opinion J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
