    WANTED Sinclair NT-4000

    Any of you guys that have upgraded to an automated neck turning system want to get rid of your old manual neck turning gear. My favorite so far has been the Sinclair NT 4000 but might be interested in other models that are easy to adjust. I have a K&M that’s not bad. If you have something...

    IDOD question - turn primed cases?

    I have 100 unfired primed cases with the outsides turned and I would like to now turn them with my new IDOD. Trying to decide if I make a fired case holder or not. Am I in any great risk if I run the primed cases through the IDOD? The tapping on the back is with a derlin rod and when you what...
  5. When to Neck Turn - 17 Hornet new cases? Once shot?

    Here's my dilemma... I've been working up the best load for my 17 Hornet, and found a very accurate load. The combo is 17 Hornady brass with uniformed primer pockets, with 20 V-max bullets, once shot brass, necks turned to .0110" thickness, CCI-400 primer, 12.6 grains of CFE-BLK, BTOL 1.455"...
  6. Uh-oh! 20 Practical in AR format, what Neck Bushing do You use?

    It's been a few years since I played with my 20 Practical, and I wanted to test some more loads to get some accurate 32 and 40 final options. I have a 24" WOA barrel 1:10 twist in an AR upper. So I brought out my already sized brass (I use Lake City brass, 1x shot, necks not turned), which I had...
  7. Changing out the arbor on a 21st Century Neck Turning / 3 Way Trimmer Head

    I am a new user on a 21st Century Neck Turning Lathe and its other cutter heads. I need to change out the arbor in the 3 Way Trimmer head from .20 cal to .17 cal. How do I remove the existing installed arbor??? I have unscrewed the brass plug on the Trimmer head and attempted to push the...
  8. What Amount of Neck Runout Drives Turning?

    A few questions on neck runout and turning: 1) Should I neck turn for tension consistency regardless of even very minor neck runout? 2) Is there a generally accepted maximum neck runout number (eg. 2 thou) that is "good enough" to skip turning? 3) If I need to turn even one neck in my lot...
  9. Sequence Step for Neck Turning?

    Been loading 308 for several months for F T/R, but now trying to really up my brass prep consistency game with Redding comp dies, neck turning tool, and concentricity gauge. My question is where neck turning falls in the brass prep sequence. In my mind I would neck size, then full length for...

    Neck turning pics

    Alright, 6PPC turned necks, do they look okay or have I turned down on the should to much? I'm looking for help, not just criticism. Yes everyone I know about DJ's Brass service and I have 200 6BR cases I may send to him but I try to be a "doer" and like the accomplishment of completing and...
  11. small neck into no turn neck - possible?

    This past winter I picked up a like new 22x47 barrel from a member here. I stopped by Peterson Brass and grabbed 250pcs of their new 6x47Lapua brass and quickly made a dummy round that a promptly stuck in the chamber. I consulted the previous owner and he then let me know that he had been...

    Fireforming 6PPC from 220 Russian Lapua, any update?

    Yes, I did the search feature. I have 200 220 Russian Lapua to fire form, I was taught to expand up, neck turn, size, load and shoot, now I see there are other methods like using bullseye and wax (what kind?). Can this be done at home with the neighbors calling the police? Can someone give me an...
  13. Neck turning - "wobbly" drill driver

    Hi Hopefully this is not the most stupid question ever asked... I use a little hand-held screwdriver (Bosch IXO) and the bottom part of the Lee handheld trimmer to secure and turn the casings. This little screwdriver has a visible "wobble" when its turning, and although it seems like this is...
  14. Neck Turning - carbide cutter angle?

    I am just getting ready to learn how to neck turn cases in a serious way and I noticed K andM or Cen 21, etc. offered cutter blades in different angles so as to properly cut into the shoulder. It never occurred to me to even think of this. Is there a simple chart somewhere that shows the...
  15. Neck turn before or after fire forming?

    Do I neck turn “skimming/cleanup” before or after first fire forming. The reason I ask is because I noticed the brass grows on average 4 thou in many directions. Shoulder bumps up and out, necks sucks in a little i am guessing. If you turn the neck and “skin the shoulder” I am assuming that...
  16. How to turn brass to proper diameter?

    Help with 6PPC neck diameter

    OK, new Norma brass 6PPC, neck on rifle is 262, bullet diameter is 244 so I am thinking I need to get to 261 with .001 left, that means I will have to neck turn the cases to .085 (each side), is this going to be safe? Help from the guys with the experience. The old brass I have is Sako 220...
  18. Neck turning and Annealing

    Disclaimer Once again, I’m still new to reloading and long range shooting so forgive my ignorance. I just read an article on here that essentially said you neck turn if your brass is to tight but also so you have consistent neck tension. I was thinking about the responses I received from my...
  19. Novel (maybe) Neck Reaming Method

    The gist of the process is this: ream the ID of the neck with a reamer while the neck is in a sizing die. The die would provide a pilot for the shank of the reamer, and a bushing die would allow one to adjust wall thickness cut with the same reamer. I think it would produce very consistent wall...
  20. Is neck turning worth the effort?

    It's a pretty simple question I guess. If human error were factored out, is neck turning the difference between .5" and .1" groups at 100 yards? Or is it more like meplat uniforming/pointing (evidence in both directions)?
