Opinions please...

Greetings. Newb here with a reloading question. I shoot a bone stock Remington 700 police, chambered in .308, 26" Bull Barrel. Like many others, I am now just getting into reloading.
My question is, should I be overly concerned with neck turning my once fired brass (all fired from my rifle), or should I just size, trim and reload. I plan on loading factory spec ammo until I learn more about ballistics and reloading. Any input is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

No need to turn necks for a factory chamber. Neck turning is necessary when you have a custom chamber with tighter than SAAMI spec neck dimensions and you need to uniform your brass thickness at the neck.

Kinda' what I thought, but never hurts to ask. Thanks for the prompt reply.

No worries.

FL size, and measure the amount of shoulder bump. You'll be fine.

Good advice. ^ Neck turning is for the advanced handloader, one who knows why it's done, and when. BB
