[QUOTE="Adikted, post: 1369649, member: 91925"] +1 on the Forester bench rest dies, when I first tried neck sizing with a bushing die it was a Forester bushing bump die. The rifle I had was headspaced within 1/1000th of minimum. After working with some fired brass and a comperator to get the bump die set to knock the shoulders back just enough that all the cases were the same I wound up producing brass at exactly the same dimensions that the full length die did without all of the work. I haven't pulled that bushing die out of the box since. As far as neck turning is concerned it's not hard to do but honestly you'll not likely see much difference down range. I only do it on cases that I'm try to get down to single digit SD, and I don't believe that it's ever been the determining factor. The one thing that neck turning did help me to see is how consistent the wall diameter is on my brass (by seeing how much I had to trim to get rid of the high spots) All of this stuff is more advanced reloading, plenty of people produce 1/2 moa ammo without doing any of it.
