For the target crowd, I can say that I feel neck sizing is worthwhile. I’ve seen a significant improvement in group size. My Ruger Model 77 in .22-250 Remington shot much better groups when I neck sized my ammunition, bringing group size from ¾” to 3/8” at 100 yards. I also had a customer with a Remington 700 in .300 Remington Ultra Magnum that loved factory ammunition that featured the Nosler Partition 180 grain bullet. He tried to handload that bullet to find the same barrel harmonics and replicate the accuracy (due to the ammo crunch of ’13, he simply couldn’t find his favorite load), but to his chagrin, he couldn’t get it to work. He called me, and I made him some ammunition with the 180 grain Swift Scirocco II. Close, very close, but he wanted better. I suggested neck sizing the cases, and by George (George who?), we had it! Three shot group size returned to just over ½ MOA, and he was back in business with his long range elk rifle.

If you decide to neck size, make sure you set the die up properly. You want as much of the neck resized as possible to give you proper bullet tension, without moving the shoulder at all. Use a consistent brand, and preferably lot, of cases and you should see the difference during your next trip to the range.
