[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1390215, member: 2736"] If cases are trimmed to the proper length, there will be a space between the case mouth and the neck chamber, Even if it is only a few thousandths. There can be a carbon build up in this area no matter how much gap you have. This deposit should be removed with cleaning when it starts, to prevent pressure and feeding problems. It is the side effect of powder being burned and will happen no matter what gap you have. it should/can be dealt with on a regular cleaning regiment. All I can say is that I have seen changes as little as .008 to .010 thousandths groups and improvements in SDs as little as 3 or 4 when I did everything as well as I could. So Yes there is a difference. Is it worth your effort ? that depends on how well you need the rifle to shoot. If I am shooting off hand, obviously I cant see the difference or measure the difference, But I know I have the best ammo for the rifle and any error is mine. I want my rifles to out shoot me every time. this also takes away any excuses and I shoot better. I feed all my weapons the best ammo I can produce and have never been sorry. I enjoy re loading and don't mind the extra time to do everything as well as I can. If a person feel that little things don't matter, its his choice. I need all the help I can get, so I try to improve anywhere I can. Just Me J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
