What are the order of operations for cases prep for a case that needs neck turning?
What order do you perform the operations on the case?
I'm necking up 6BR to 30 BR using a Redding tapered expander in one pass on an o frame press.
Then I need to skim the shoulder bulge/donut off the neck and get it down to a .331-3315 neck for a .334 chamber. As best as I can measure the necks are turning up parallel but look odd.
Should I case trim to length before neck turning or after??
Please someone clarify the order of operations for case prep?!??
There will only be one turning operation as I only need to skim off the donut and about 2 thou of neck to get to .331-3315
Is it ok if the neck isn't fully turned for the whole circumfrance if it's on the size I want?? Does the surface finish of the unturned brass make any differance in chamber/neck tension and grip on the inside of the chamber when fired?
leading to oddly formed brass or some safety issue??
I am using the Forester hand turner,the small u shaped unit) with the carbide cutter modified to have a 30 degree angle on it so it will follow the case shoulder. I stop when the case shoulder gets the mearest smallest skim of a turn- this was done so I don't dig into the shoulder/neck join.
Thanks heaps
