[QUOTE="Canadian Bushman, post: 1099996, member: 41122"] Accuracy is derived from a chain of events that are being controlled and repeated. Can you attribute (x) amount of accuracy to any particular link? Maybe, but chances are it will only be relevant to that particular event and not to the idea as a whole. Make sense? The idea behind neck turning is to create a round neck of equal thickness eliminating error to a greater degree than you had before you turned. If you have the appropriate neck clearance and turning will give you too much clearance id advise against turning unless the thickness variations were just massive. If you have a factory chamber with excessive clearance to begin with and the brass is terrible, why not turn? Whats another .002-.003" if you already have .015"? There is usually a trade off for any increase in accuracy one way or another. There is no free lunch! This goes back to what mike was saying about planning. Whether or not you want to neck turn should be considered when determining the dimensions of a chamber so the end result will be a uniform case that has the correct amount of clearance and will not require excessive sizing. Uniforming a case whether it be turning, sorting, annealing, or sizing is always your friend. How bad the cases are before and after will determine the yeild in accuracy. Just because you tried one individual technique and could not measure the resulting increase in accuracy does not mean it does not exist. [/QUOTE]
