Yes
I do turn necks, but I don't use a tight neck chamber, I turn, or skim might be more correct for two reasons.
1. concentricity
2. neck tension
neck thickness is 0.0125". I use a 0.307 bush for sizing and a .2825 expander (this is for 7mm)
I am travelling until September and I am operating from a tablet so I can't really access all my data.
But I can say:
1. a .2825 mandrel produces tighter groups than a .2835 mandrel using the procedure described and
2. a tighter velocity spread, SD of around 6. this is across 20 rounds, not 5.
I don't think my rounds could be moved by hand.
