I am somewhat competitive at midrange Benchrest and want to dabble in long range. I shoot BR, BRA and Dasher. Most recently I have been using Harrells sizer dies, mandrels and arbor seaters. I have been doing about a 50% neck cleanup. Only using Lapua brass and anneal every firing. Getting a new rifle and searching for dies. Looking at SAC sizing die. Called SAC today. The fellow I spoke with was very informative but was telling me a lot of stuff that I’m sure was correct, but confused me somewhat. I felt like I was taking up too much of his time. He told me I shouldn’t be turning necks at all( all my rifles are .272). I think he said I would be better off not using a mandrel anyway.
I want to build the straightest ammo possible just to give me more confidence if nothing else. I would appreciate input from someone in the know about whether a mandrel helps or hurts building accurate ammo. Fixing to start with new brass shortly. Thank you.
