[QUOTE="Rich Coyle, post: 1221945, member: 70559"] PGJPJ, The bullets in a .223 I had were seated into the neck only .120" and were always less than 1/2MOA. I made a wildcat .224 that had a neck only .125" and it was a guaranteed 4/10 MOA. I made a .257 wildcat and to maximize case volume used a .3/16" neck. It was a regular 3/4MOA. I made a .224 wildcat with a 7/16" long neck and have not got it to shoot better than 1MOA. I will work on it a little more. I have a new 6.5mm wildcat that uses a .340" neck and the whole bullet is in the neck and the best I can do is 1 1/2MOA. I don't see rhyme or reason to what does or doesn't work for me. After reading this prior to posting, it sure seems I need to use less bullet in the neck for best accuracy[B]![/B] [/QUOTE]
