[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 1124302, member: 5302"] 'Tis my opinion that expander balls bend case necks regardless of their position in the die. My own measurements of case neck runout relative to the case shoulder axis showed that case necks are straightest if nothing touches the inside of the neck after its been sized down. And a .001" spread in neck wall thickness will only make the case mouth center .0005" off center relative to the neck's outside anyway. And case necks do nothing to center the bullet in the chamber throat; there's a thousandth or more clearance between them and the chamber neck when the round fires. The front of the case is centered by its tapered shoulder perfectly centering in the chambers matching tapered shoulder. The case body does nothing to center the case neck and the bullet it holds in the bore. [/QUOTE]
