Stock barrel/chamber. Will turning the necks on my brass improve groups? I'm fire forming and neck sizing.
I know that turning will work on a tight neck chamber, but what about a standard chamber?
Jeez! This is a hot forum!

Will it improve accuracy in your factory rifle? -- Maybe a little. Just depends on how good or bad your brass is and how accurate your rifle is.
Is it worth the effort? -- Depends on how picky you are and whether you consider reloading to be work or play.
Uniforming primer pockets, deburring flasholes and sorting by weight is probably more productive.

One thing about neck thickness variations, if the neck has thickness variations, that usually means the rest of the case follows suit. This can, depending on the severity, lead to "banana cases" after a few realodings as the brass does not spring back uniformly.

That's my feeling. The neck is where all the action between bullet and barrel comes into play. I'm shooting a Rem. 700 PSS and looking to get gnat's ass accuracy off the bench -- cause it's play, not work.
Sinclair the way to go for these tools?

I seldom turn necks. If the wall thickness in the neck varies no more than .0015", leave them alone. If it's more than than I clean up the irregularity if not more than about .0025". If more than that, dump the brass, get another lot, and start over. Bob
