[QUOTE="Alex Wheeler, post: 2723646, member: 101859"] Turning high quality brass does very little to help group size. And thats just using a bushing too. Many of my long range Benchrest customers have went to no turns. Most just use bushings, but some also mandrel. You can have success either way. I can say, about 75 percent of the long range records on the books are neck turned, non annealed, bushing only. And lots of neck tension. I simply do not know the other 25%. If you take away anything from this thread, I hope it is to test neck tension at distance. It can make or break a tune. If I had to pick a neck tension without testing it would have to be .005. Thats based on a lot of 1k groups testing this stuff. But Id hate to have to pick without testing. Any time I think I find a rule, I find a combo that wants something different [/QUOTE]
