This whole thing got me thinking of expander mandrels. Is any one using expander mandrels for the purpose of managing neck tension in their hunting loads? I figure precision shooters do this all the time but not sure if it makes sense for a hunter who's happy with 0.75 moa, not aiming for sub 0.25 moa.
mandrels are great
The inside diameter of the neck is what is important not the outside
They arent that expensive and they dont really take that much more time
