Neck turning question,s)

[flyinbrian]

I'm shooting a Stevens .243. After neck turning 300 cases to .269", I was left with twenty or so that still needed some more turning in order to get into the thin spots. These ended up at .267".

My question is should I

A) mix the brass together and think nothing more of it,

B) discard the twenty or so cases and think nothing more of it, or

C) turn the other 280 cases down to .269" to make them all uniform?


This has just brought up another question as to how thin is too thin for the neck wall? The brass that are turned to .267 have neck walls that measure .012". Is that sufficient?

Thanks for your replies!

Don't mix it, you will have different neck tensions.
You don't have to toss the thinner sstuff, just keep it separate from the thicker stuff, different box.
12 thou is fine, no worries

I turn my 30BR brass to .010" neck wall thickness you have no worries at all with .012"

Guys,

Thanks for the responses. I'll keep the thinner cases separate until the next trimming and then I think I'll take them all down another .002" to a .012" neck wall thickness.

I appreciate the help!
