    I can understand neck turning because of certain issues with case to chamber fit etc.
    But if comparing with good unturned annealed brass, has anyone really noted a marked improvement in accuracy or ES?

    I have turned several cases from a batch of brass and shot them against unturned from same batch in a few different calibers and barrels. While I believe consistent neck tension aids ES and SD, it is imo, not as critical as some other component fixes I do now that have dramatically reduced ES in my rifles.
    Especially if there is not that much in it as far as neck thickness variances go, that you will find in reputable brass.

    Definitely didnt see any accuracy improvement and only seen negligible variations in ES for what I have experimented with.
    To be fair I have not experimented with any brass other than lapua, Norma or Nosler.
    Just curious.
