[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 2720948, member: 313"] I turned necks for many years and have ordered tight neck chambers too. But I have learned over time that turning necks isn't all that it's cracked up to be. Many competitive shooters are now just using "no neck turn" reamers and experiencing excellent results. I barreled up a heavy 6mmBR just for fun. I had the smith cut a no-neck-turn chamber for me. I have been able to shoot MANY 1" groups at 400yds with that rifle and I'm not that great of a shot. I should probably add that I haven't annealed the brass either, although I do anneal brass for my big cartridges. And I don't own or use mandrels. I find that the bushing dies work great when the correct bushing is used. At some point I'll experiment with the mandrels to see if it improves anything but that's just because I like to experiment.
