For those of you who are turning necks, I'm curious how much variation in neck wall thickness you allow for before you turn.
My question is mainly toward across-the-course bolt-gun users more than benchrest guys but I'd be interested to hear all thoughts on it.
Trying to wring all the accuracy I can for long range and curious at what point neck turning is considered necessary or worthwhile.
Also, I read somewhere that the loads most guys are using in 6.5/284 are hot enough to flow enough brass to necessitate trimming / reaming / turning. Is that so? I'd be interested to hear any thoughts on that, too, since I'll be shooting 6.5/284 and am new to the cartridge as well as to this particular rifle. (Hope to use 139 gr Lapua Scenars and 107 gr Sierra MatchKings, if they'll shoot.)
Thanks in advance for any replies.
