TRK:Boy, is that ever a nice looking setup! I can see some really precision work coming out of that machinery.I was giving my memory a workout last evening, (with a tall, cool one in hand) and suddenly remembered that years ago, ca. '86 or so, I went through a spate of neck-turning for .308 cases to be used in Hi-Power competition at 600 yards and beyond. I remembered that for the M1, and M1A, (all custom built to super-match specs.) that it seemed to make no difference. In my bolt gun by P.J. Wright, I couldn't tell any difference, either.I could say that, in the case of the Service rifles, the improvement, if any, was lost or obscured by other factors. Not so sure of that alibi in the case of the bolt rifle; it'll still put 5 in 1/2” or less, when shooting Sierra M.K's. But, the bolt rifle was built by a master builder, and possibly didn't need neck-turned cases. And, the cases in question are L.C. Match, and boy, are they ever uniform. In the event, still fiddling, piddling, and thinking. Ain't that the fun of this sport?

In theory, there's no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is. My fate is not entirely in Gods hands, if I have a weapon in mine.
