No-turn neck for 6PPC?

[tightneck]

The reason the "standard" neck diameter was .262" is that the old brass needed to be cleaned up that much in order to get consistency...it had thinner necks to start with. I would venture a guess that there are still far more .262" and .263" neck chambers making it to the line than the thicker necked versions. One reason is indeed neck tension consistency, but there are other reasons too. One is that many BR shooters have a set of carbide sizing die bushings that match up with the small neck diameters already, and at around $30 a pop, don't think a new set of bushings is in the cards. However, if someone came onto the scene and set the BR world on fire with a .269" neck chamber, BR shooters would jump on board in short order. But the fact is that there's no advantage to the thicker necks, so if it ain't broke...

Well some of the people shooting the 270 neck are doing very well have been doing a lot of reading and asking questions on other forums etc.
I had thought of getting a neck reamer and just resizeing the neck but i have the brass turned now and if i do the other barrels with the new reamer and any barrels into the future i will have my own reamers.
So what Free Bore is recomended .020", .025"or .030".or just ask Dave Kiff for a standard comp 6PPC reamer with .270"neck.

Are thick neck 6ppc's in the same zip code as thin necks???

Jackie Schmidt competes with a .269 neck. He has 2 HOF pts,
3 time SOY Gulf Coast Champion, He has won the Crawfish,
Blue Bonnet, Rachels Glenn, The Buffalo, and has 16 teen
aggs in the last couple of years. He has a chance to win
any event he chooses to enter.

Jackie's success with the .269 neck in the competitive arena
is definitive proof that you can win with a "thick neck".
