[QUOTE="Beluebow, post: 2017434, member: 3246"] I will admit I'm not familiar with Hammer bullets and the amount of neck tension required. Thank you for pointing that out!👍 👍 The correct powder charge (and seating depth) cures a lot of problems....In my experiences less neck tension required more powder to achieve consistent results and vice versus. I have never personally found the need or any added benefit to adjust neck tension on a FINISHED load. That said if your are struggling to get a good consistent shooting load...changing to more or less neck tension could certainly alter the course of initial load development. . . . The problem with seating force gauges like the K&M and 21St Century are those numbers can be easily manipulated with the amount of speed with which you seat the bullets and the amount and type of lube used. With consistent reloading practices the variance in seating force probably doesn't vary more than 10-15psi and that is being generous. I doubt many if any could/can shoot the difference unless the numbers were on the opposite ends of the spectrums. [/QUOTE]
