I think Metal god has it right, I've given this some thought before. How much this effects accuracy is I'm sure variable from gun to gun though. An old friend of mine use to orient each case in his 700 BDL Varmint Special 7mm-08 with the head stamp in the same location, he shot very, very well. Makes a case for neck sizing, if your after that last bit of accuracy.
