Whatever you dont turn will end up inside your neck. you MUST TAKE CARE not to bite into the shoulder too much either. Other wise you will weaken the brass there. Next I recomend using a Redding type S neck sizer for concistent neck tension. This is what will make up most of the accuracy benefit. Another benefit is that the bullet is more concentric in relation to the case and therfore the bore. Also when you get ready to turn the brass off of the tool, do it slow so that the surface of the neck is smooth and doesnt have any angled tooling marks.Hope that helps!</blockquote>
