[QUOTE="CatShooter, post: 1319059, member: 7"] When benchrest shooting was mainly [I]group shooting[/I], tight necks were the "in vogue" style of doing it, and cases were a tight fit in the chamber. When benchrest changed to [I]score shooting[/I], everything changed. Necks got larger and guys started FL sizing - because speed loading was important, and the chance of a bullet sticking in the throat was now a big problem... it is now, all about speed. Go to a current bench match, and you can see guys shooting their whole 5 shots in maybe 18 to 20 seconds. To win a score match (50 - 5X), you can do it with a rifle that holds about ~0.31" group - but in group shooting, a 0.31" rifle would get you laughed out of town... a good group rifle will shoot in the low 1's.
