[QUOTE="dok7mm, post: 1830514, member: 90080"] Prior to jumping into turning necks, I would suggest you determine the diameter of the necks in your chambers vs the diameter of a loaded round. If you don't have a reamer print for your chamber or if they are factory rifles, you can measure the neck diameter of brass fired in your chamber & add .001", that will put you pretty close. When you compare diameter of a loaded round to the estimated neck diameter of your chamber, it will give you an idea of your total clearance. If that number is over .004" - .005" on your unturned brass and then you turn some more off your necks, to even up neck thickness, it may leave you with more neck clearance than is beneficial. There are a lot of steps, as mentioned by others, to get where you want to go, but it's a heck of a ride. Good Luck! [/QUOTE]
