In looking for the ultimate in rifle accuracy, how important is neck tension(NT)?

In my experience, it's down to about eighth place on a list of the ten important things regarding the ammunition. Excellent accuracy (1/3 MOA at 100, 2/3 MOA at 600 yards; at the worst) has been had with the force needed to push the bullet out of .308 Win. cases ranging from 2 pounds all the way up to 50 pounds. As long as the force spread is no more than 20% about average, that seems to be good enough.
No. 1 is get really good bullets a few ten-thousandths larger in diameter than the barrel's groove diameter.
And the list goes on. . . . .
