    Well im glad you cleared the air on how to obtain neck tension. I was aware of the collet and bushing dies but that wasent mentioned untill i asked the question.
    Im also very aware of taking some off the case neck in order to accomplish it. But that can also lead to some worthless cases if your not very carefull. Or at least
    the added expence of buying a bushing die in order to salvage them.

    That's part of the reason why its last on my list of things to tweak... changing powder charge with the same powder and seating depth with the same bullet is a no-cost proposition (assuming you were going to shoot the rounds anyways...). Like you said if you turn too much off you can ruin the case, and going with the collet/bushing style dies for me is an added cost (bought RCBS 3-die set) so unless its needed to get the accuracy I want... no use buying something you are just fine without. BTW... I may still take you up on that offer to chip rocks depending on when my trip out west winds up. Just not sure what day I'll be back.
