All of which to me means, unless you can shoot your stuff into no more than 1/4 MOA at 100 yards, turning case necks to exact, or nearly so, thickness is a waste of time. There's other things that'll improve your ammo's accuracy that's a lot easier to do.

Bart I respectfully disagree. Like most people I remember watching long range handloading videos and thinking that "There is no way I'm going to neck turn, that is way too much trouble" but after resisting as long as I could I had to give in and accept it. After all that a 1/4" at 100 yards becomes 8" at 1,000 yards.
If you take the time to watch the Sierra videos with "David Tubb High Power Rifle Reloading". Tubb explicitly stated that the two most important things you can do to improve accuracy is neck turning and flash hole deburring. When the guy asks him which one was the most important? David Tubb replied without hesitation
neck turning is the most important. My experience proved me wrong and him right.
Many people describe the bullet as a circle within a circle. If for any reason those two circles are not aligned properly your simply are not getting all the accuracy that the rifle is capable of delivering. It's simple geometry. The image above exaggerates the point for illustration purposes.
