To my mind the best turning equipment is K&M. You will need at least Expand Iron Complete with correct mandrel for your caliber
And one or two Neck Turner Tools with correct pilots by your caliber, this is the most correct tool by design comparing to another turning solutions.
First, turning only BRAND NEW cases to achieve best results, never turn even once fired.
I'd prefer to use 2 pcs of Turners. Turning each case in 2-3 steps (depends how much you'd like to turn), let's call this rough turning in 1-2 steps using 1st Turner, this one adjustable each time, and then final step using 2nd Turner let's call this Finish Turner, you adjust this only ONCE and never touch adjustment knob later. This will guarantee to you that you have each case turned absolutely identically and uniformly.
Please check 1 to 5 steps here,

Maybe this is looks so complex -- really it is very easy, but really takes some time. But Lapua brass lives at least 15-20 cycles with correct preparation and accurate using with correct Full-Sizing, so 100pcs brass will be enough at least for half life of 260 rem barrel. Turn it once and use a lot of times without any issues.
