    Neck turning.

    Well, some friends have convinced me to turn necks on a batch of new Lapua .308 Palma brass. Working on 100 this morning. Finished 50 taking the neck thickness down from .016-.017 to .015. Feels normal to get this gear back out and in service again. Will see if there is as big a difference as my friends tell me there will be. Used to be common practice, for me, with surplus brass but haven't turned necks since going to Lapua. Whatta Hobby!

    excellent timing, non reloading related, reminded me I needed to pump up and use my neck brace thingy,
    3 minutes on, 1 minute off, x3 and it helps a compressed disc or 2

        Might just have to take a look. Wouldn't be able to do much other than that these days. Life is good.

          Doing a little experiment with some LC 01 brass turned to .014 neck thickness, HBN coated 110 gn Sierra varminters over 46 gn of Varget. Dang I love playing. Whatta Hobby!
