I always stick to.. if you can shoot crap ammo ok it can only get better.

That last sentence is the kicker. I started shooting a thousand rounds of cheap factory 223 on paper, even though its crappy ammo. Shoot a crappy load a lot and you can still tighten it up. ...

Trust me you wont save a cent you'll just shoot more but that's not a bad thing :D In reality you need to be shooting consistently (not just when it counts) before you'll see any benefit at the end...

Well they are considered to be plinking rounds.... That's not an easy question to answer. On good days I could put three hurried shots into less than an inch. Two weeks later I couldn't hit a 300...

you need to trim to length and debur inside and out first...... but if your reloading guru who is teaching you says to do so...it would be downright rude to not do so while still under his...

I use bushing dies and always turn my necks with a K&M turner. I just skim the necks to take high points off and give consistent thickness. Even with Lapua brass there is up to 1.5 thou neck...

Unless your using bushing dies or a tight neck chamber, i wouldn't bother. I'm having to neck turn my hornady brass in the 300prc, bushing die with inconsistent neck thickness.

Greetings Ftx325, Not generally thought to be a good idea on factory chambers. Makes a loose neck fit even looser. Only called for if the rifle has a tight neck chamber. These are cut that way by...

Do you batch weigh your brass ? Do you anneal ? Do you uniform your flash holes ? Do you trim ? Do you batch weigh your projectiles ? Do you clean and tumble your brass ? Probably a whole heap...

Pandora's box :P Like most things, the answer is "it depends"... If you want to eke out the last bit of accuracy and precision, then neck tension is the holy grail, and turning does help with...
