[QUOTE="Rardoin, post: 1959167, member: 114954"] I did not find it worth it in .284 Win/180/184 Berger hybrids. In a 6 Creedmoor/106 EPS it might have helped ES/SD but I did not see any difference in my scores/X count at 600yds. Same in 6.5 Creedmoor/140 Berger hybrid. It did give more consistency in a 6.5 x55BJAI/142 Precision Ballistic in vertical/overall grouping at 1000yds and scores were better (better vertical dispersion)but no difference in ES/SD of significance. I tested the MV over a complete 600yd match in that rifle for 60 record shots and 8 sighters. The ES was in the low 40's and the SD was 18 or 19 IIRC but it shot very near 3" of vertical that day and 599/600 possible with 37x in less than calm conditions. The high velocity variations came as a surprise in light of how well the rifle shot. So my results varied depending upon the cartridge in question and [I]my [/I]prep techniques. I do think that some brass will benefit more than others due to wall thickness variation and possibly composition. Bottom line is do what works for you. But it is not an absolute that turned necks will always be of a distinct benefit. [/QUOTE]
