Only on PW could neck tensions be measured with a kinetic hammer, now there is a name from the past, Ackley, I wonder how he is, one thing with Ackley, he didnt know the meaning of STOP, even from the moderators.

I'm a little confused with too much neck tension causing dangerous pressure, surely brass will only have a certain amount of grip on the bullet, even if you did reduce the neck size enough that a boat tail could squeeze into it. Neck tension helps the case gas fit the chamber before the bullet moves forward but surely wouldnt cause pressure issues unless you used supper glue. So should a factory crimp die have a government health warning, you would have to already be on dangerous ground before neck tension is an issue.

A case will only grip a bullet with a thousand of an inch grip.

im actually rather embarrassed by the complements paid to me but i only know cockercass as he lives in the same county. Contrary to your assumption Kent and i have probably clashed more than agreed in the past so i dont think we are "forum mates" we just happen to share a similar view on this point.

 

Personally im now going to be deliberately rude because i hadnt even grasped the ringpull of the can the first time. My old duelling pal Ackley used to have a quote that would fit oh so well here but as im typing im not sure i can bring myself to say it............can anyone guess?

 

Im looking forward to your venture with bushing dies, maybe you will be neck turning too next week but if not 40 blows witha kinetic hammer even on a 40 gr bullet sounds like you are swinging it like YOUR handbag.

 

I won't be buying any further dies until i fully understand the ones i have and know how to use them properly.........

In fairness the handbag comment was quite amusing. Even more so as it turned out to be true, (bar the handbag). I was, swinging it like a "girl" as most of it is plastic and i didn't want to break it. As it turns out it's alot stronger than i thought......
