Im forming some 6slr brass out of lapua and starline and the donuts are horred i can outside neck turn it helps a little but should be inside turned to be done right.

Shoot me a message if you can do it

I can't remember who, but someone makes a neck turning mandrel that has a cutter built into the mandrel. Get one the size you need and do the insides and the outsides at the same time with the tool you already have.

What weight bullets are you shooting. I wouldn't worry about donuts unless the bullet base enters the donut. I shoot 60 gr bullets for gH hunting. at touch they are only halfway down the neck.

SLR doesn’t need to be fireformed. Running a 243 into the SLR fl sizing die does it all.
The reamer though was designed for REM or Win brass so Lapua ( being thicker in the neck) needs to be neck turned.
Inside neck reamer is really the way to go. As the inside base of the neck thickens with firing, the donut forms. The inside neck reamer takes care of that issue.
 
If you have the ability to outside neck turn as you mention in post #1 you can replace the turning mandrel with a new mandrel that has a cutter on it and can cut inside and outside at the same time with the same machine.
