How much neck tension do you guys use?

[GJgo]

I'm curious if there's a status-quo. I've got a 6PPC-USA with a .270 neck chamber. My current lot of brass I'm running is .269 loaded. I've been neck sizing with a .268 bushing for 1 thou of tension. I know "every rifle is different", but I was just curious about some general direction.

TIA

from Benchrest Central's Tips, Tricks & Info: http://www.benchrest.com/FAQ/2.4.shtml. Personally I use .001 to .002 thousandths. Art

I use a .269 neck on my Competition Rifles, and use a .265 bushing.

The loaded round measures .2675, or there abouts........jackie
