[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2810916, member: 10755"] To the OP, I often look for brass brands on the thick side so I can turn to my optimum size and I never turn brass below .013” anymore. I also use chambers now where my happy clearance is at .003” minimum, and .0045” maximum. I don’t own a single ‘neck turn only’ chamber reamer anymore either. If I can, I neck size DOWN to achieve my perfect brass fit. My 264WM‘s are a perfect example. I have a few hundred ww-super cases acquired in the very early 90’s that are .014-.0145” which I skim turn to .013”, as I have a few rifles as chambered, I also size down Remington 7RM brass to 264WM, and it turns out these will clean up at .013” as well. So I get my .003” clearance and I can turn about 80% of the neck as I only size this much anyway. Thin necks, as is normally found on some brands like Norma, depending on chambering, often have issues with deformation which I try to avoid due to donuts and splitting. YMMV. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
