This is a new question about reaming cases vs neck turning, I promise!
From what I have read neck turning will always be the more accurate option. But will I notice the accuracy difference in my situation?
My special circumstances:
• 7.7x58mm formed from 30-06
• necks are running .014” to .015”
• I’m running bullets sized .318”
• I’d like my to necks at .312”
• I suspect I have doughnuts, I don’t own a tubing mic, so I’m measuring with calipers (poor method)
• I currently own two L.E. Wilson trimmers
• I can pick up a L.E. Wilson caliber specific reamer for $30.00
• a neck turning set up will be significantly more expensive
• Milsurp chambers on both of my rifles are predictably sloppy and loose
• Triggers are stiff on one, and extra stiff on the other.
So my question is this. With the sloppy inaccurate nature of these rifles chambers will I be able to notice any accuracy difference between reamed v.s turned necks.
I know that a few of you have done extensive testing in this area. I’d be interested in your input.
