[QUOTE="COBrad, post: 1634438, member: 1940"] That was a good article on neck turning. I turn all my necks to the same thickness, calculated after measuring 10% of the cases. I take just enough to make them consistent. Any with over .003 variation are culled and used to set up tools. I start with good cases like Norma, Lapua, and RWS. I then use a bushing die for neck sizing and usually size 80% of the neck leaving that last little bit to align the neck precisely in the chamber. Or if it’s a rifle I don’t expect or need sub- moa accuracy I sort by neck thickness and cull any that fall outside a +or- .001 variance. [/QUOTE]
