[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 2590854, member: 313"] I like necks as thick as they come from the box. I'll turn if I feel compelled to better uniform neck thickness but this "could" cause more neck clearance than desirable. I use Lapua brass almost exclusively, but it isn't available for everything I shoot. I never turn the Lapua brass. Other than that, I have a few minimum spec chambers and the neck clearance would be too tight for my liking. I'll turn cases to get .003" of clearance (which is only .0015" on each side) but is still sufficient for a hunting rifle. Clearances of less than .003" may be OK for the benchrest crowd because they spend a considerable amount of time and effort in getting things to exacting standards, but a hunting load/rifle needs a little room for error.
