Brass neck thickness variation, does it show up on target?

[JFrank]

Good point, I should have stated I shoot BR and some f-class.
I turn with a PMA turner and generally see 2-3 10ths variation, but sometimes more.

BTW: I use 3-in-1 oil as a lube. This made a big difference by keeping heat down. Heat is the enemy while turning necks.

This might be an unpopular opinion, but for F Class, you'll never see the difference. You can make a good rifle shoot in the 2s in ideal conditions with unturned brass and factory bullets, and that is good enough to win any match. I stopped when I realized I was getting beaten by guys who Don't turn and haven't looked back. My rifle shoots just as well as it did when I turned.

I think we tend to do a lot of stuff because we can, we know it won't hurt, and it's easier to just do it than test it. And once you start doing something, there's a psychological resistance to stopping. Theses days, I try to shave off every possible second I spend at the loading bench. Not turning really helps with that, and like I said, it hasn't hurt my F class guns at all.

Leave the neck turning for benchrest when you're trying to cut another 20 thous off your group size, or when you need to in order to make your cases. If you don't have either of those problems, it's wasted time and money.

I have found @group therapy 's Hobo Oil be the best lube I have found for turning necks.

Just a question bulletmaker, how do you size your cases?

If you mean me, I use an off the shelf Redding bushing die for my TR rifles.
