[QUOTE="TracySes23, post: 1094230, member: 52763"] The single biggest reason I got a tight-necked chamber was to increase the longevity of my brass. The 2nd reason was the possibility of saving the time of not having to resize my brass every time which would save me a lot of time reloading. Since custom barrels are the norm for a tight-necked chamber, I assumed my accuracy would also be better if my skills were up to it. My loaded rounds measure .2480" - .2483", which seem to be perfect for me, since I've gotten everything I hoped for so far. I now, no longer have to lubricate or resize my brass, I no longer need to clean the lube off my brass since there's none on it. The inside bore of the brass is consistent enough for the grip the be consistent enough for my needs, without sizing it. Since I now use Lapua brass, I suspect the 100 cases I recently purchased may well last the remainder of my life. I rarely get out to the range more than once a week & I turned 74 in March. Since I fabricated a special sub-collet (fits inside of a standard collet) on my Hardinge Lathe, I can turn cases in a minute or less per case for my Savage BR 22-250 w/the LRPV single shot action. I'm a happy camper!! [/QUOTE]
