Neck tension will always be slightly variable.

If you want the "utmost" in rifle accuracy and don't care about things like having to load singly or the inconvenience of having a bullet stuck in the rifling if you have to unload and a load of powder in your action if you forget to point the gun up when you do, the best thing you can do is size the case with just enough neck tension that the bullet can be moved by hand, seat it extra long and let the rifling push it back when you chamber. The variation in the very low neck tension will be completely overshadowed by the bullet touching the rifling, which should be almost exactly the same every time.
