Nope, I just can't be bothered as for what I do the minimal improvement isn't worth the time or effort. All I want the neck to do is hold the projectile central, allow me to seat projectiles at +/- .002" optimum depth and have enough tension to stop the projectiles falling out on the mound while I am loading them (it gets embarrassing).
Bang for buck just not worth it in my case, that might change if I start bench resting again but not for what I am doing now. I reckon at least 98% of reloaders would agree(or as a complete guess, only 2% of reloaders would have neck turning and annealing gear and bushing dies aren't on every shelf).
You keep doing what you are doing, nothing wrong with that but don't confuse anal retentiveness with practical necessity.
I only ease some projectiles slightly after six months as I have had some very tight ones in the past.
Cheers from the lazy re-loader.
