[QUOTE="nheninge, post: 261807, member: 13085"] My comments were more toward mike33 where "turning necks on a factory chamber is making a mess out of a mess" and "only turn necks if you have a tight neck chamber". Taking a thousandth off brass in a factory neck should only improve accuracy if done properly. Why? I already stated my case for even bullet release. Aditionally, turning those necks reduces bullet seating neck tension for those using factory seating dies. Without neck turning I was getting 4-6+ thousandths neck tension (d/t thick uneven brass) which definetely makes a huge a difference. This could be avoided by using bushing dies of the appropriate diameter (if you have them and know how to use them). Feeling that bullet seat with a nice even 2 thousandths is sweet. My perception is that any slight increase in "[I]sloppiness[/I]" is likely countered/overcome by even neck tension etc. Tight neck chambers can also have their problems with accuracy/fliers without [I]enough[/I] clearance (adding to my thoughts on even neck release), but if brass is prepped properly, they will beat the pants off a no turn or factory neck. Poor bullet release in either case[I] (uneven release/too tight a neck)[/I] would be like trying to run through an open door with someone grabbing your left arm as you went through! I never suggested cutting off a thou is excessive??? Taking a thou off is perfect. Sorry if you misunderstood. Somebody who takes the time to take thou off probably just cares more about the brass he is producing and will ultimately get better results. [/QUOTE]
