22br Neck Turning

[andybrock]

Is it best to neck turn 22br cases before necking down while it's still in 6br or is it better to neck down to 22 then neck turn?

Mines a no turn neck but I still like to take a slight cut off the neck just to even them up and get them uniform for an even neck tension.

Turn them after sizing, if you're just doing a skim/cleanup cut, then you may want to fire them first.

I usually do a large cut, second cleanup cut, fire them then one more ever so slight skim....but I'm anal and was shown this method by another anal shooter.....though he does have a few world records to his name so I've always done it.

You've got a "no turn" chamber so why bother?? : The object of the "no turn" is so you don't have to.
On my BR chamber, they're "no turn" and the bullets are all going in the same hole, or damn close.
More time shooting and less time messing with brass.

If you want to turn them, do it after forming to .22.

IF you turn before, you'll have less chance of that pesky old doughnut forming...

Sounds like a bunch of brass work for nothing. Unless it is the Rem br brass, I wouldn't mess with turning. After forming, and firing, trimming is all that is needed, really.

If decided to turn, I would do it first while I can achieve perfect fit on the turning mandrel.
