[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 3061781, member: 101791"] I generally develop a one bullet use in a rifle and that's what I stay with. It has to meet my wants. Which is grouping and velocity. The weigth of the bullet has to be in range for what type of animal I hunting. I set up and cut all my necks to a thickness. I anneal after the case has been fired, but before I size it. Grouping is done by several things. Neck tension is one of those items. It all goes hand in hand what works and doesn't work for your rifle. Likewise powders, primers, and neck tension crimping the necks. These are steps in reloading. Whether you incorporate one all the step is your discission. Each rifle shoot a little different, and requires a little different set up. So that where the reloading come in at. It's up to you to determine what you want not what I want. This has been on neck tension. What people have found that works for them, and that may not work for you. I never really took into account neck tension until now. I'll have to seen what works, and doesn't work for me. What I do see there isn't a real way to determine the tension other than how tight the neck is set at. Is it .001" or .002" of whatever. We can all measure our ID and OD of case and bullets. You can use bushing or mandreal to set those sizes in your neck. We can anneal everytime or whenever or not at all. To me it's part of the fun part on seeing what works and what doesn't work. So that kind of gets me back from where I started at here. I generally only develop one load for a rifle. I stay with that going forward. [/QUOTE]
