Getting a handle on the 6x47 and a 110

I am curious as to your thoughts on carbon in the necks affeting neck tension after 5 firings. I often wonder about neck to bullet friction as opposed to neck tension. In my mind two seperate items but not seperated in the numbers we get usung a force guage.I often think because all my chambers feature a .262 neck it helps in consistent tension as opposed to thicker neck walls, but not sure that is fact.

Carbon in the necks will affect bullet release and bullet tension and maybe even concentricity. I agree that these are two different forces that affect cartridge reloading activities. More so in reloading for long range competition to the point I have turned to a seating force guage and the use of expansion mandrels. Over the years(40) I've shot .261", .262", and .263 necks in the 6PPC. The .262" is what I've settled on or a neck wall of .0085". Jim excuse me for using your post to answer this question from Jeff.

I use the exact same as you in both the PPC and 6brx for long range. I think it is easier to control neck tension for with the thin necks.

I finally got it shooting with the 105's and the low node was 3035 in a .1 and a higher node at 3165 in .2 .... went out two days latter with the same loads and it shot big with a velocity drop, so much for the BS on temp. insensitive powder. But the groups seem to get bigger than how a Br imp reacts to a temp change.... the other thing I noticed was seating force was all over the place with the A tips while the 105 were very consistent at 23 lb. I 'm going to put it on the shelf for awhile..... jim
