[QUOTE="Chawlston, post: 150471"] [ QUOTE ] OK you can turn IF you are just cleaning up the necks and taking off the high spots AND your particular sizing die sizes enough of what is left to give a enough bullet grip without the bullet moving in the mag during recoil. Even then, but you cannot control neck tension without bushings due to work hardening unless you anneal. However, it still remains with what is cut off in an grossly oversize factory chamber it is extremely doubtful you get any benefit for that work other than to say to you are doing it. BH [/ QUOTE ] The benefits of truing up your brass are very similar to truing up an action as it keeps the bullet perfectly aligned with the bore as truing an action will keep the action and barrel properly aligned. Truing up your brass only helps accuracy and I have been doing it on my 06 Ackley for many years with great results (I am still on the original Winchester brass). Next time you don't think truing up your brass is beneficial, try this experiment. First open your front door and then back off 50 or so yards. Then run to the front door and instead of aiming for the center of the door opening, align your entry so that one of your shoulders will contact the door when you are at full throttle going through the entry way. The results are the same when a bullet is not properly aligned. However the bullet is much faster and the results are more dramatic. The experiment works on ship or submarine doors as well.
