recommendation on neck turning tool

[flexible]

Hi, everyone; flexible here.
Setting up my dies for the new rifle; a 7mm PRC. Started measuring the once fired Hornady brass for the sizing die bushings and can't believe the slew of numbers I got.
Used a ball mike and got numbers from 0.0168 to 0.0196.
To make sure it wasn't me I miked the Lapua 220 Russian I had fireformed to 6mm PPC - sample of 5 cases all 0.0084.
Since I don't see Lapua making 7mm PRC for a while I'll have to start neck turning
Does anyone have a favorite tool or setup?
thanks

PMA is excellent, but I’ve turned some very good cases with a Sinclair as well.

Check your work as you go along. You’ll be fine.

My PMA tool works perfect!!

I have Forster and Hart hand turning tools. Both work fine but the Hart is a better tool in my opinion.

I use a PMA model A and Model B on my .266 neck 6br. I have a couple of Sinclair tools for .223 and 6.5x47L. I only turn neck on these 2 if they get to much variation in the neck wall thickness. I like all 3 of the tools, but the PMA produces the best most consistent necks.

I also use the PMA. I like their tools and Pat is very responsive. A top shelf company to deal with.

Whichever neck turner you decide to get, get a case driver for your cordless drill also. PMA sells them for primer size, large or small.

Most definitely need a cordless case holder. I use the Sinclair model.

I notice you use similar tools as I do in at least some cases, for lack of better analogy here!

Is that a Jazz bass in your avatar?

Yes Sir, Always felt better than anything I ever played. And very versatile when moving from Country, Beach, R & B etc.

K & M is good stuff no doubt.

I use a 21st century, no complaints.

I've used a Hart for years.

 

[Owens85]

I really like the pma turners with a carbide turning mandrel and carbide cutter.

My K&M works very well. You'll need to use K&M expanders with their neck turn tool or modify other brands. I believe Sinclair, PMA & 21st Century are interchangeable.

Bought a 21st Century neck turner around 2015/16, have added to it since, with the lathe setup (no Motor, I use a drill) and 3 way trimmer stuff for 4 calibers, and some different angle cutters. Works really well for me.

 

[Ranger188]

I used a K&M until I tried the PMA.
Much nicer cut. That's all I'll use now.

IMO, if you’re going to set it and forget it and only turn for one chamber a Sinclair is fine. If you need to mess with it at all a PMA is the way to go. It’s way easier to get set up correctly.

PMA is in a class by itself. I have others but no contest. PMA.

Got a response from James Kelby regarding the Pumpkin (it's no longer being made) BUT Bruno's Shooters Supply has a Pumpkin copy called the Blueberry - there is a wait list.
