    Nope not marriage advice. Recently got talking to an older chap who I've known for a sometime while I was cooking the bbq at my son's school, and I know he has a farm which backs onto the kaimais...

    To 90% of NZ's population a gun is a gun is a gun. The Pollies and the antis are playing the age old "divide and conquer" tactic. We have been warned.

    That last sentence is the kicker. I started shooting a thousand rounds of cheap factory 223 on paper, even though its crappy ammo. Shoot a crappy load a lot and you can still tighten it up. ...

    I know what conclusion I would be drawing from that :thumbsup: At the end of the day it's hunting ammo, I don't believe all the extra steps are necessary. You will no doubt benefit from the extra...

    Trust me you wont save a cent you'll just shoot more but that's not a bad thing :D In reality you need to be shooting consistently (not just when it counts) before you'll see any benefit at the end...

    He's right in that doing everything possible has got to help. That's one way of looking at it. The other way is that guns are a dark art and something that is meant to help sometimes has the...

    so far I have only turned .308 cases, it made a measurable improvement. I probably would not bother for a hunting rifle. I was blown away how irregular my Hornady brass was- I have yet to do my Lapua...

    I use bushing dies and always turn my necks with a K&M turner. I just skim the necks to take high points off and give consistent thickness. Even with Lapua brass there is up to 1.5 thou neck...

    Is this just for hunting ammo ? If so at most I would suggest. De cap Clean primer pockets Anneal (more important for big magnums) Clean/ tumble if you like post cleaning Full length size...

    Unless your using bushing dies or a tight neck chamber, i wouldn't bother. I'm having to neck turn my hornady brass in the 300prc, bushing die with inconsistent neck thickness.

    If you're just going for gongs then i think this may be past yhe point of diminishing returns for you. But if you're hunting for a .2" reduction in your 100m groups then this can help I do it on all...

    this is just my opinion but if i were you id just concentrate on making basic ammunition and testing it in your rifle first. you may not need to bother with neck turning. Id just use good brass...

    Greetings Ftx325, Not generally thought to be a good idea on factory chambers. Makes a loose neck fit even looser. Only called for if the rifle has a tight neck chamber. These are cut that way by...
