OK so from what I've been able to find out as I am getting into the 6 dasher is I don't need to turn the necks for PRS as I won't see appreciable improvements from this step do you guys agree? Also do those of you who shoot or have shot 6 Dasher find that you have to trim your necks at all or often? I was thinking of picking up a Guirade or Henderson trimmer but several folks I've spoken to say there is no reason to. You input is greatly appreciate.
6mm Dasher Neck trimming

I've had a Giraud on my bench for years and it's one of my reloading staples that I don't think I'll ever get rid of. While I don't necessarily need to trim 6 Dasher brass often, I run each piece of brass through my Giraud after sizing to chamfer and deburr. The cutter blade just kisses the neck. No, you don't really need a Giraud or Henderson if you're only loading for one caliber, or just loading a small amount of ammo, but it's a huge time saver when you're loading 100+ pieces at a time or shooting multiple calibers.
As far as neck turning goes, I've never found it to be worth my time. If I were an F-class or Benchrest shooter, then I might. I set my neck tension with a mandrel, which ensures the internal neck is consistently round and none of my barrels are cut for a tight neck.
