while prepping a cigar box of mixed, mongrel 30-06 brass for groundhog targets, it came upon me that if just ID taper reamed the necks it would save me from deburring, flaring neck mouths and probably excess working of necks from the belling/sizing at each reloading ....
also i remembered that in the few ( 3 or 4, in 22 and 7 mm ) instances i had tried it years ago while developing serious loads, it seem to give better groups over straight neck loads ...
maybe it allows the bullet to pivot from deeper in the neck ... thus more self-alignment ?? .... kinda like our bench gurus who seat just by the gas check .... and maybe it allows the soft bullet to expand inside the neck before it moves forward and thus gives a better fit in the throat ( since many throats are bigger than a bullet that you can seat into a factory spec neck ) ...
i remember JohnA mentioned this a while back, so maybe next loading i will taper ream the whole box .... not like it is 284 winny brass, i guess. any comments welcome.
