Neck clearance

Post by Ol 55 »

I have just had a 20 PPC barrel done for my Sako S491 22PPC and have only 60 new 220 Russian cases when loaded are .235 neck, I have some once fired 22 Beggs [almost a 22 Russian] Lap cases that have been turned when loaded are .230 neck.
A fired neck turned case come out of the gun at .236 is it going to make any difference to the rabbits I intend to shoot?
I have neck bushes to accommodate loading both cases with .002" neck tension.
44deg here right now so have no intention going out to shoot it to find out.
Cheers

If it dose not bother you changing the bush over to load it won't make any difference!

The rabbits will have zero clue. If you want to print bug holes on paper read the experiments from a warehouse. Marcus posted some links to the articles not too long ago

I haven't had any accuracy issues with more neck clearance, you can have issues with a to tight a neck though.

Us Rabbitz would need to be standing pretty close to see a difference of .005". Might even need to put on some specs.
