Neck tension II

[284winner]

What kind of neck tension are you guys using on no neck turn brass on the 284 win ? How about on lightly turned necks(skimmed)?

I usually run between 1 and 3. depends on what the group shows and where the neck ended up after it's skimmed.

Seems maybe that the neck needs a bit more tension if the neck wall thickness gets on the thin side. Does that sound about right ? I'll do some group testing with 1,2 and 3 thou smaller bushings. I was just able to pull the bullets from the necks easier with thin wall necks than "no turned" brass necks. Guess it makes some sense. Ultimately tho I suppose I'll let the paper tell me.

I use a 306 bushing on a standard Sami chamber. I do not turn necks. It has worked well for me this year.

Not planning on turning necks. Skimmed some for uniformity. My chamber neck is 318 so it's an option.
