Default RE: Want to share findings on Neck Turning

I think experimenting with neck turning or whatever can be a lot of fun. I did it for a while too, but I haven't bothered with it lately. I now pretty much use nothing but Norma, Lapua or RWS brass. The necks of these tend to be pretty consistent anyway. I will measure the necks when I first buy a batch of brass. If the neck is lopsided, then it's probable the entire case is too.

The one piece of reloading equipment that has probably aided accuracy more than any other for me is the Lee collet neck die. It has three advantages basically. First, it makes very straight ammo. Second, it requires no case lube and third, it works the neck less than traditional dies with expander balls. Of course, a good seater is essential to concentricity too. I like the Redding Competition seater best followed by the Forster benchrest seater.
