    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...

    this is just my opinion but if i were you id just concentrate on making basic ammunition and testing it in your rifle first. you may not need to bother with neck turning. Id just use good brass...

    Out of curiosity how accurate are the factory rounds ? That will tell you a lot about how necessary the other stuff is :thumbsup:

    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.
