[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2300656, member: 116181"] ADG seems good to me so far. I got a box for my 300 RUM, quickly ran a few pieces in a tube mic and the necks were in the 0.0155-0.0165" range, with any given case varying ~0.0005". I had my mic out because I was measuring new 30-06 Peterson brass and also turning 6.5-284 Lapua brass. The Peterson 30-06 was 0.0140" average, varied 0.0010", while the Lapua was 0.0150", also varying 0.0010" or so per case. Some factory loaded once-fired Hornady 30-06 brass was super thin, 0.0120" or less and 0.0020"+ variances, it was a mess. The ADG was the thickest neck for sure. I turned the Lapua down to 0.0145" with less than 0.0005" variance on my K+M turning setup, that was about 80-90% cleanup on most necks, 100% on a few. All three of those good brands give you a lot of meat to work with if you need it, I was happy to have more than 0.0140" left in the necks even after turning. More reason why any of those are worth the cost. [/QUOTE]
