[QUOTE="Catfish, post: 368487, member: 7211"] I seat a bullet into a case and then mic the case neck. I usually only go .002 under bore size but do believe you would be better off to go with .003 under, especially if you will be hunting dangerious game with in which case .004 under might be better. The reason for going under chamber size is to make sure it will chamber and alittle dust can make it hard to close the bolt. I also find it very hard to maintain close tolarances with a hand turned neck trimer and recomand a power trumer or one you can run with an electric screwdriver, Much faster and far more accurate and uniform. When setting up your neck turner work down to your final setting. If you go for it the first time you will probly set it to thight and end up takeing off to much brass. [/QUOTE]
