[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 132044, member: 1007"] [ QUOTE ] Ben... there was a time when all "accuracy" shooters thought that you HAD to neck turn cases for accuracy, and it became a standatd MUST DO. But a lot of things have changed, and now the direction is for "No turn" chambers [/ QUOTE ] There is alot of truth to this statment. Alot of good shooters dont waste their time turning necks. Personally I enjoy it. So I do it whether my rifle has a tight neck or not. It is just what works for me. I have also had very good results with SAMMI chambers and not neck turning. Neck turning is for if and when you feel it is neccessary to strain nats or split hairs. Also, I do it because I could never seem to get straight brass with an expander ball. Chalk it up to bad tools, bad technique (most likely bad tequnique) or whatever. The only way I was able to correct it was throw away the expander ball, turn my necks so the dies wouldnt compress them too much if at all, then run them through the neck die.
