[QUOTE="Bullet bumper, post: 737385, member: 17844"] I agree . Thickness variation is a big issue and that's why I use skim neck turning and the long neck is perfect for partial length neck sizing . The 30-06 will never be a modern BR cartridge but with the right approach it can shoot very well . As Bart B points out minimum sizing is also a good idea to preserve case fit and reduce the tendency to distort the case neck centre with older dies. This is why I use Lee collet die , with shortening washer and Redding body die. The less you have to size each time the better. However with hunting rounds fed through magazines we also have to have adequate neck tensions . I would not say that the 30-06 is ballisticly inefficient it does a great job with the powder it consumes compared to bigger volume magnums . So in that direction it is effecient . Not really fair to either , to compare a 30-06 and a 6 mm PPC . [/QUOTE]
