[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2464538, member: 101791"] It's my understanding is 0.012 to 0.013 is the thinness you shouldn't go below that. I have a tight chamber rifle now, and just started testing the rifle. Having to go to 0.0125 from 0.013. This is the first time I have done anything in chamber reduction. My other rifles are standard chambers (whatever that is from rifle to rifle). I cut all the neck for thickness for every rifle I load for. I use to only anneal once and use until my primer pocket would give up. At the time before annealing I would have split necks somewhere in the reloading of my cases. (no count on number of uses) Case life was shorter. Here what I see. annealing the cases. (every time). No less than every 3rd time. Bumping the shoulder back only a couple of th. in a FL die. I only Neck size, for a very long time, but have changed my ways. There are so many steps to prep brass, it isn't funny. In thinning necks: I do the fallowing. (Never Fired Cases) 1. I trim my cases to length very first thing. 2. I then cut for thickness of the necks. Reason for this is necks are all going to be the same length. Not short or long so I don't cut short or deep at the shoulder. Once the neck thickness it done you don't have to repeat that. Other items that only need to be done once. Flash holes deburred. Volume weight check your cases, if you want too. Now I haven't check my new Peterson or Lapua cases yet for Volume weight, but will be shortly. I use to just weight the cases to get them closer to the same case weight. I see the error's of my ways. Problems that I am having is: Obtaining the equipment needed to do all this. FL bushing die's. bushing, Especially high end equipment to purchase. Items that take months to get. You name it, it seem like it's on backorder. [/QUOTE]
