[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 1827365, member: 69478"] I neck turn for my .284 because I have to in order to have safe chamber clearance on my brass. The only time I’ve really neck turned is when I have to do it. It definitely can’t hurt your ammo and if you want to do it then it’s worth a try. I just would wait until I was getting the groups I wanted and get the basics worked out before over complicating things. I feel like it’s one of those steps that takes your ammo to the next level. I feel like mandrel sizing could be an operation or step that’s super simple and straight forward, but may produce more consistent ammo. This is part of the reason I’m testing it and documenting my finding. If anything, my bullets feel better when seating and I have more control over neck tension with the different sized mandrels available. It is also a lot cheaper than bushing dies and if they do produce better results than standard dies, they might be worth getting and saving some money. [/QUOTE]
