Thread: Brass Bastards I know - 260 Nosler

The brass looks like it can be saved if anybody has the tooling and expertise to properly neck turn it (again, I think its already been done once but not far enough or properly i.e. with the "donut" pushed right to the outside, which according to the interweb is the "right way).

Unless someone wants to supply me with 50 or so pieces of good brass I 'll just harden up like anyone else and buy some new stuff . . . . unless another someone is able to help me with neck turning my existing mess.

Cheers

PS - I'm still pissy about missing out on the box of Lapua 260 brass that was sold on the forum a week or so ago - I don't recall who got it but feel free to have a good gloat now - ha ha

Hopefully @sneeze will see this.
He just dealt with a donut issue and can explain how he dealt with it using turning gear.

Happy to lend the turning gear I gave him to sort it if you think it is worth it.
