HI Gents,
Now that I'm dipping my toe into neck turning I can tailor my chamber/ neck clearance to a certain degree. I was just wondering if there is any point in tailoring a neck diameter for a factory rifle?
My current neck/chamber clearance is about 0.004 (4 thou) at the moment and I've read that a lot of the benchrest guys use 0.001 to 0.003 depending on the range that they shoot at. I was just wondering if there Is any point in trying to tighten those dimensions up or is it just a waste of time in a factory barrel?
I could probably get it down to 0.002 (but the chamber pressure seems to rise a bit with a thicker neck)
