    The usual reasons given about not working brass etc are a total irrelavence in any standard chambering and any potential gain in accuracy is lost in the million reasons why the rifles we own are not shooting low 0's

    my $0.02 anyway - no doubt there will be people who have drunk the coolaid
    wow awesome. so its drinking coolaid to search for increased performance? yea man each to their own though i guess, seems like your reasons for not neck sizing are related to you not keeping track of brass and your sizing technique rather than neck sizing being a flawed method of potential accuracy increase
