Default Question about 17 Nosler brass

When I had Greg Tannel build my 17Rem Nosler brass was not yet available so he used a dummy round that I made with Remington brass. My loaded round had a neck of .193". Greg made my chamber with a .196" neck I am wanting to switch to Nosler brass, but with a loaded round I am at .194" is this too tight of a neck? Should I neck turn to make it .193" to be safe?

Thanks
Harmon

A thou per side is close, but enough as long as you keep the chamber clean and ALL of your cases are exactly the same. Going from.002 to .003 is not much of a change anything in my opinion. If you are concerned go to .004" total which should clean up most/all of the neck if the brass is halfway decent.

I run my bench guns at 1 thou. and my field guns at 3. I would give it a go as is because I hate turning necks. Just be aware you may have a few fail to feed if there's any carbon build up or one case has just a little thicker than the others.

As others have said, 2 thou will be enough if you keep it clean. Another option is to have just your neck opened up another couple thou I doubt you will se a difference between 2 or 4 thou. In a accuracy.
