[QUOTE="Mysticplayer, post: 24040, member: 8947"] Cybra, I too shoot a 6BR with a tight neck and it is one of my best shooters. One thing to consider, are these rifles going to be hunting? If so, are you going anywhere where rain/humidity or dirt could be an issue? Although we have done everything to make our rifle chambers and ammo clean, a little bit of moisture on the necks/chamber due to rain or condensation while out in the field could now cause clearances to go to zero. Water does not compress very well. I like tight necks for my BR and varminting rifles where I can control everything but get a little nervous if used in a "working" rifle. In Canada, some of the best places and times to hunt get you in pretty wet, cold/snowy or mucky conditions. I neck size my brass and use normal SAAMI neck dimensions. Accuracy is around 1/2 MOA which seems adequate for any of the big game hunting I am likely to do. Something to think about... Jerry [/QUOTE]
