[QUOTE="Bullet bumper, post: 1306419, member: 17844"] Not experienced with 28 Nosler but neck turning can help with accuracy. If you are having a custom reamer made then you could make the chamber neck diameter small enough to just skim a few thou off the necks to get a good minimum clearance fit . You will have to make some cases to see what thickness necks you will be working with. I can't give you numbers . I would also suggest if the neck is a good long neck then partial neck sizing would also go well with neck turning. The way it works is only size down about two thirds of the neck length . The unsized portion stays at chamber dimension less the spring back all the time. You never size with full length dies ever again and use a body die that does not tough any of the neck . I you can't buy a body die for 28 Nosler then make one from a normal full length die . Remove decapping rod and cut die off just above the neck size length . Drill out neck size area to .010 larger than the neck diameter of a fired case . Drill from inside the die to outside to avoid too many burss inside . Check for burrs inside. Then you have a body die that only sizes from the shoulder neck junction to the body and never touches the neck area. Neck sizing can be achieved with either a Bushing neck die which will work well with a skim turned case neck or use a Lee Collet die with a machined washer to the correct thickness placed over the case onto shell holder . This reduces the sizing length of the die. Body die allows more precise sizing and shoulder bump if required and the whole system reduces work hardening on the brass and improves accuracy . Hope that helps mate . You can buy one now . Redding body die 28 Nosler , die number 75790 about $50 us . Redding comp bushing neck die 28 Nosler , die number 56790 about $ 180 will also require a bushing of correct diameter which I can't know at this point . Will work ok with turned case neck . Lee custom dies might make you a custom 28 Nosler collet die . Will work ok with turned or unturned case necks . If you don't want a tight neck chamber so you can still use factory ammo then this system can still work with a standard factory chamber neck diameter the partial neck size will just swell out bigger .
