Thread: Does anyone provide a neckturning service?

If your chamber has a 0.250" neck, you should be able to use PMC brass, unturned (always a good idea to measure the chamber neck with cerosafe). I usually neck turn 222Rem brass for my rifle but I don't bother with PMC because it has the thinnest neck brass of the common brands (Rem, Win, Sako, Lapua, etc.). Also, PMC brass has the most consistent neck thickness of any 222Rem brass that I have measured (Rem, win, Sako, Lap, Fed, etc.) and won't really benefit from neck turning. I have just measured up some PMC brass, using a tubing micrometer, and the thickness varies between 10 to 11 thou. The bullet for a 222Rem is 0.224" in diameter. The resulting cartridge neck will be around 0.245" (bullet loaded into the case) which leaves around 0.005" clearance which is plenty. If you have a micrometer, measure up some PMC cartridges in your favourite shop and check that these PMC measurements are still current.
