Neck tension vs accuracy

[Bill W]

I have two neck turners I use.  One is a Sinclair or something similar.  The other is a Pumpkin and has the ability for some micro adjustment.  It has a cam built in that adjusts down to the 1/10000.    I also use two sets of neck bushing dies.  The usual is a Redding neck bushing die and the other is a set of Wilson dies for 6PPC.

It's my 6.5 Badger. A necked down, blown out .338 Ultra Magnum case with a 40 degree shoulder.

From left to right.

Left .458-.375 Ultra Magnum 500gr Hornady (I've taken one bull Elk with it). Second from the left is Yorke's creation .375 BME, a blown out 40 degree .375 Ultra Magnum with a 350gr Sierra Match King. Third from the left is the 6.5 Badger with a 160gr Matrix VLD. Far right a standard .338 Ultra Magnum case.

Your brass always looks so shiny! Mine look like I just pulled them out of a fishing tackle box.

If a guy is going to shoot at any longer range then neck tension is very important.  If you're a 400 yard type max range guy....not a big deal.  If you shoot lrabs it's uber critical. Slight variables in neck tension mess with them bad.
