[QUOTE="7stw, post: 2016002, member: 22854"] I have had different results, with increased neck tension, as I've seen more velocity, and lower es. My theory, is that you are holding back a little on the bullet, to get a more consistent ignition, and burn. Neck tension has always been one of my pet peeves, and I've junked a lot of brass that wouldn't give it to me. Theres a fine line on the tension issue. And threads about the use of Lee factory crimp dies have helped with that somewhat. It's a touchy subject, and has kindled a few fires here, but I can tell you in all honesty, that whether its tight, or not so tight, isn't as important, as long as its all the same I found that most of the slow burning powders, perform better, when held back. The overall quality of your brass is key, which in turn, usually provides better, and more CONSISTENT neck tension! [/QUOTE]
