[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1100102, member: 10755"] I'm afraid that if it makes you feel good doesn't make it so. Neck turning in most factory chambers is fruitless and a waste of time. This is why, if you introduce even more clearance into the necks, the chances of your cartridges being eccentric to the bore is greater. There are very few action designs that hold a cartridge perfectly perpendicular to the chamber and bore, therefore, the tighter a cartridge fits, the less chance it wiil be eccentric. The other reason is the more a neck expands, the more chance there is that the gases can tip the bullet as it enters the throat. Accuracy is essentially the combined elimination of all things that would otherwise negatively effect it, doing things that do not change anything is not conducive, and unless tested, may in fact be less accurate than when not doing it. I give this advice to everyone, test before and after each prep step to be sure it's not making things worse without you knowing. Cheers. lightbulb [/QUOTE]
