    260 Rem Neck Tension

    How much neck tension are you guys running on a 260 Rem. Using Rem Brass, outside loaded Diameter shows around .291" Would a .288 Bushing be to much neck tension? Will be loading from a AICS Mag. Thanks

    Unexplainable high neck tension after annealing

    I'm a at loss of words to what I experienced yesterday while reloading. I was reloading some 175 SMKs in Lapua .308 brass yesterday when I experienced some unusually high neck tension. This was with Lapua brass that had been shot 6x and I had just annealed the brass using the Hornady annealing...

    Has anyone used a CED Load Force 250 or similar load cell systems to determine bullet seating force and neck condition. Did sorting ammunition with identical seating values enhance performance and ES or POI, if so to what extent? I anneal rounds after each five firings but would like to control...

    Neck Tension

    I just got a new 308 barrel that is marked .342 neck. The good folks of the hide educated me to what the .342 neck means, but it opens a hole new area for me to explore. It is my understanding that the .342 is not a tight neck, but if I had chosen a tighter chamber neck and had to turn the...

    Does annealing reduce neck tension?

    I just finished annealing my entire lot of cases after their 3rd firing. I tumbled, then annealed, then did my brass prep as if the cases were straight off the range. Neck tention was still set at .002" but felt like next to no tension at all when seating the bullets. Things will work-harden...
