RE: Cracked Necks?????
FACTORY cut chambers already have to much slop in the the neck area and for the most part the rifles aren't accurate enought to make cleaning up the necks worth your time... I get a chance to see everything in the world shoot at our long range groundhog match, 200-300-500 yards, being the range master I get real nosey sometimes...and believe me for the most part there's not much you can do when the chambers are cut so sloppy..my custom Borden built rifle has .261 and about a quarter on a .262 cutting...the cases last forever because they don't move very much..I have over 2500 rounds on 40 cases and they shoot the same today as they did when the are new..YES, inside and outside neck reamming can help rifles become more accurate but if the chamber has that much clearance, it's not worth the time and effort...and if you straighten out the necks you'll be actually making more of a gap and causingmore movement...good luck, try partial neck sizing, they'll look funny becuase you'll actually see swelling but I'll bet they'll shoot better and last alot longer..
