Thread: Neck turning

Cheers for the reply’s guys. I have an AMP annealer so I’ve got that part covered. I was more curious about neck turning due to wildcat case forming and necking down. Thinking 6-6.5x47 lapua and 7-300WSM

Yes it’s handy for that, when I first got my 260 I didn’t have any brass for it so I resized some 308 brass down, then gave it a light neck turn and more importantly gave it a small cut into the shoulder to stop donuts forming later on.

Recently I neck turned some federal 270 brass I was given as it was quite a bit thicker than the Nosler I’m using and as I use a bushing die I wanted it the same thickness.

My suggestion is to buy cheap brass and neck turn, or buy quality brass (Norma, Lapua, etc) and you wont have to. My experience is that Norma and Lapua are very consistent in neck thickness and concentricity. A lot of other brass isnt
