I see more and more guys talking about how much neck tension they're setting up by various means. "I got .004" neck tension."

My take: if I understand the purpose of annealing case necks, this is a bunch of hooey. Tension is not a linear measurement to begin with (but I see the need to try to quantify somehow), and if you do not take the condition of each piece of brass into account (and just how would you quantify or qualify that in itself??) your linear measurement is pretty meaningless and real neck tension might be anything at all.

Your take?
