[QUOTE="wildcat westerner, post: 1847122, member: 21361"] Hello, I shall try to add some light here on this subject. If you cannot load an no neck turned loaded case into your chamber, you do need to turn the neck at least .002, for starters. My background was long range benchrest shooting at 600-1,000 yards. and if you do have such a tight neck you simply have to deal precisely with that challenge or you gain no benefit at all. You had to turn necks long ago since the brass was simply not as uniform as you can buy nowadays. If Lapua brass existed commonly in the U.S. in the 1960's there never would have been any need to turn necks in the first place. Go on the Internet and type in Pumpkin neck turner- you will see and orange turner that does this job better than any other. Most people really interested in precise work and very small groups use this turner. I have others and simply can see and , with a .0001 "mike" can measure the consistent difference. I have turned God knows how many necks over the decades, and if I had a choice now would be an unturned neck, with minimal clearance. If you have a tightnecked chamber, you have no choice, but to turn to some comfortable clearance and I think .004 ( total-each side) would give you the maximum benefit for turning, with a safety amount so this weapon can be used in the field.
