Realistically disregarding the humor once is enough unless neck thickening is effecting case neck tension , assuming the load is for the same Rifle !
However I could be totally full of shit .

Once and done for me.

Once during initial case prep on new brass. Accurate Shooter had a very good article on neck turning and you may want to research their archive to find it.

I'm with the others... once should be enough.

Once, and beware “the dreaded donut”.......

Excellent, thank you all for the replies I really appreciate it.

I only do it once during the initial case prep from necking down brass. I have not came across having to do it twice for brass as of yet. I anneal, resize, trim, expander die, turn the necks, then resize again back to spec.

The only reason I do turn the necks is because 308 necked down to 260 wont chamber in my rifle. I don't for any other round though.

Once...if your neck got thicker and need to neck turn again its probably been shot 20+ times already with 20° shoulder case...trash that brass and start over

Make sure your not confusing neck turning with case trimming.

I turn my neck every time a hot babe walks by.
