[QUOTE="ntsqd, post: 2379531, member: 93138"] Possible that experience has shown that a .002" interference fit* to the bullet works better for that particular chamber-brass-bullet combination? Never mind the elastic to plastic yield transition point of the metal in the case necks says [I]should[/I] be the sized down to dimension, just flawed or not, what the guy has observed to work best. Just to be clear on what you're thinking, it isn't that he's taking the neck .001" smaller than the mandrel size, and then moving it up .001". It is that he's taking the neck .003" smaller than the nominal neck size rather than only .002" under? *(Note that I am not, and will not call that "neck tension".) [/QUOTE]
