[QUOTE="Brent, post: 6852, member: 99"] A couple reasons I won't be keeping the clearance any tighter than .002" total, like crow mag, it's a much greater chance that any grit getting in there is going to cause problems and I don't think it's likely to gain me much if anything. The neck tension will also begin to vary as the brass work hardens in the neck area, but then again it will with a couple thou clearance a bit more too but, fitted necks totally rely on the spring back quality in each case itself. I feel that running them through a die each time is going to maintain better overall consistancy, and consistancy in any component just gets rid of one more variable... If you're seating the bullets down into, or through the "doughnut" that will form, you could loose the necessary clearance for consistant bullet release, just one more thing to consider. Any increase in neck diameter could be disasterous to you, others, the rifle, group size etc. Throw a little more clearance in there and lots of variables and concerns are done away with or extremely reduced... Just my 2 cents. [/QUOTE]
