[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 1837660, member: 38048"] I personally start at .003 and fire the case. If a bullet slides back in I call it good. If the bullet is too hard to put back in by hand I take more off my neck. Most cases are going to have a slip fit bullet around .003 to .004 which is exactly what most guys are saying they use. Problem with fitted brass that is .001 clearance is that every time you fire your brass a little bit of the shoulder flows into the neck. You would be neck turning your brass every 3 shots to maintain your clearance. I shoot 1000 yd comp and usually get 12 to 14 shots on each case. I still have to neck turn my brass again after 5 to 6 shots to maintain my clearance. Those necks do get thicker as you shoot them. At the 1000 yd range I don't know one person using fitted necks.
