[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2732029, member: 101791"] Question? Is it expanding equally, or the neck that is thicker on one side takes just a bit more to move. creating an unequal release. Again back to the metal being unequal in thichness. Thinner metal is easier to move, than thicker metal. Or another way is less pressure to release on one side than the other. I realize it's not much, but different. People go to great lengths to have uniformity in there cases for there reloading process. Being case volume, powder, case length, primer pocket, and seating primers, bumping shoulders, annealling, flash hole work over, and neck tension. Blank bullet seators cut from your reamer to achieve a better alinement of your bullet. So why not even neck thickness. Ever have a tires out of balance or out-of-round? Going down the road. Can't see it, but sure can feel it. That how I see it with necks being uneven. If you don't want to cut your necks that's find by me. You can leave out other steps of the case workup too. I don't think you will get quite the harmonious outcome. That part of reloading your own ammo. You can experiment or develop a better load for your rifle. Interesting! I don't have much choice because I an using a tighten chamber. Thats what I wanted, and got. Enough on to other things, like where the primers? [/QUOTE]
