    Neck Turning - Inconsistent Results for a Newbie (Video)

    Alright....I'm videoed out....final video using brand new brass and the drill in a vice... Neck Turning Brass Part 3 - YouTube Pilot and cutter are carbide. K&M does not offer a carbide expander that I am aware of... Thanks for the suggestions. I think I addressed these in the above...

    Typically you are going to get better results from seating LONGER than what a semi-auto mag would allow in order to get the ogive of the bullet closer to the lands. Seating shorter than mag length is unlikely to improve accuracy...I would bet it would actually hurt it. Mag length is going to put...

    Neck Turning - Inconsistent Results for a Newbie (Video)

    Lol... I KNEW that I should have done this after I finished the first video. You are absolutely correct. I've seen that most people seem to turn at much higher speeds than what K&M recommends with good results, however. Regardless, I should have done this in the first video as it is per...

    Neck Turning - Inconsistent Results for a Newbie (Video)

    It seems pretty snug to me...it's a carbide mandrel and I really don't feel that there's a need to lube the pilot....dunno if that means it's too loose? How do you adjust so that it's "snug"....seems like you just buy the mandrel from the manufacturer and expand.... Cuts seem clean. Video...

    Neck Turning - Inconsistent Results for a Newbie (Video)

    I dove head first into neck turning this week...but I'm not getting the consistency I want... I decided to take the plunge after I measured the neck thickness on my Lapua brass to range from 0.0140 to 0.0165 on the same round. I'm really just looking to clean up the neck tightness and not to...

    Neck Turning -> Bushing Size Question

    Thanks for the reply. My GAP 300 WSM doesn't have a particularly tight chamber...and I typically only buy Norma or Lapua brass....I'm really just trying out neck turning because I enjoy reloading. I like to learn new stuff...so this is my current endeavor ;) Question...since none of my rifles...

    Neck Turning -> Bushing Size Question

    I've finally started to dive into neck turning. I'm starting with my 300 WSM and picked up a K&M tuner, mitutoyo micrometer, and a Redding Type S neck sizer. Before beginning, I measured my minimum Nosler neck thickness to be about 0.014 (most around 0.015). I then decided to turn...

    Necking Turning - A Few Quick Questions

    I'm thinking about getting into neck turning, but I have a few questions... I'll be turning Lapua or Norma brass in 223, 308, 300 WSM, and 300 RUM. 1. I really only shoot out to 600 yards. Is there really any benefit to turning brass that is already high quality (Lapua and Norma) if I'm not...

    Cannot Bump Shoulder in FL Resizing Die

    Got the instant indicator. Instantly love it. :) Gonna need some more of these... So I'm seeing that my once fired brass measures very consistently between 0.002-0.003 longer than their included SAAMI min case gauge... Of course now that I'm able to make accurate, repeatable...

    Cannot Bump Shoulder in FL Resizing Die

    Thanks for those measurements. I actually have a Redding Instant Indicator arriving in the mail today. This will include a SAAMI case...so I hope to be able to provide some exact measurements and comparisons.
