I just turned some cases using my handheld dewalt drill. I chucked the cases in the drill and spun them on my forester trimmer. This was very easy and quick.
Is there any issues using this method?

What do I need to do if my case necks are too tight after resizing to fit over the pilot?
Most neck turners come with an expander die so that it fits over. Sometimes you need to purchase separately.
Do I need to resize after using the expander die?
I would assume you would run it though a neck sizer, but I'll let somebody who actually neck sizes reply.
^^^^^ Yup ^^^^^
So fl resize, run through expander die, uniform case necks, then run through neck die?
Yes. Sounds like a lot of steps but you only need to do it once.

You shouldn't have to do the last step. If you run through an expander it should leave you .001" - .002" neck tension. That should allow your brass to fit perfectly over the mandrel. Assuming you're using a bolt gun (not sure who the hell would turn necks for a gas gun) that neck tension you have left over should be perfect.
Thank you very much.
Heat is your enemy, don't run your drill too fast! Battery power is your friend, just keep the speed down and all will be good. Lightman
It is the reloading section of The Hide after all, this ground has to be covered.
