[QUOTE="Dave Tooley, post: 1662779, member: 106972"] I do turn necks in my target rifles. Obviously that helps. I don't anymore in my hunting rifles. I've got better things to do. I use bushing dies for some and standard dies for some. That means I drag the expander ball back through. Many of the dies I lapped the neck area to decrease the amount of sizing on the neck. Something else to consider. You are working your brass more which then requires annealing. If neck tension is important to you then you just changed it by annealing. Also the very real chance of the neck being misaligned. In a good bushing die the case is as straight as it's going to get when it comes out of the die. [/QUOTE]
