[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1611537, member: 2736"] Good. I think you will see the improvement in your ammo. Many of us old timers grew up loading using only crude tools. My first set of dies were the type you used a hammer strike to size (No Press) and they were very slow and not very precision. (I still have them as a reminder of how far re-loading has progressed). I went many years without turning the necks and never new the benefits of it. Later when I started match shooting , i found that some of my loaded cartridges would not always chamber as easy as needed for rapid fire matches. So I tried neck turning and the problem went away. The interesting thing was that accuracy also improved. With that revelation, I started turning all of my necks (Other than just my match loads). At the time I would just clean up the necks by taking how ever much was needed. When All of the other rifles began shooting better, this became my routine. As more tools for turning became available and I better understood the advantage of truly concentric brass in truly concentric chambers, It almost became an obsession to load great ammo. Now I buy new cases for each rifle, and before I fire it in that rifle, I turn the necks all to a uniform/same thickness. This way when it is fired in the chamber for the first time, It comes out absolutely concentric inside and out. Using a concentricity gauge, I check each piece of brass before I load it so I can evaluate my loading quality when I check the loaded rounds for concentricity. I realize that this seams like a lot of trouble and not worth the effort, but when you are trying to shoot groups below 1/10th MOA, it is essential. with great barrels, great chambers, great rifles you need great ammo to reach the full potential of the rifle. Now most, if not all of my rifles will out shoot me making me the weak link. This process has eliminated any possibility of a bad shot due to poor loading, and has eliminated any excuses of why I made less than a good/great shot. In MY Opinion everyone that is interested in extreme accuracy should be, or learn how to properly neck turn there cases. Just my opinion for what it's worth. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
