Per Ken Markle 180 rpm is the optimum speed. The Harbor Freight Bauer cordless screwdriver speed is 180 rpm which is a cost effective solution that delivers the proper speed.

I like 200 rpm. I put the K&M shell holder in my lathe, remove the tool post and use the cross slide as a rest.

Just doing a bunch of neck turning for 8.6 blackout from 30-06 and 308 brass, run through special built roughing 8.6 die from 30-06 to 8.6 in one pass no lube required sizing over .8" of brass and perfectly formed 30 degree shoulder. Next 30-06 to length, mill off .814" off in one second in Bridgeport mill 1600 rpm 6 flute end mill. Debur, then to the Hardinge lathe with collet, neck turning, take off .008 to .010 per side 1400 rpm with a diamond ground carbide cutter with 30 degree angle with proper radius to cut into the shoulder .010 to thin the thick brass use dial indicator mounted on lathe bed to zero stop...Then Lube finish FL size...clean ...done, ready to load.
And cheap to free brass was used for this 8.6 blockout project for the AR 10. When it's easy, it's kinda fun...plus free brass 95% of it just picked off the ground.
