Never really had time to investigate neck tension but I am starting to research it now. I did some measuring today on my 308 reloads and they have .003" neck tension. I am reading that .003" neck tension is good? If one was to get involved in adjusting neck tension is there a die specifically for that? I.E. would there be a separate station for the neck tension die? Also are special mandrels required? These 308 reloads are for my M1A and part of the process is running them through a small base die so that they will chamber. Neck tension die after the small base die?
