[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 3097928, member: 116181"] Yes, I have their 'new' mandrels in all the major calibers. They works great to iron out any dings in case necks. The main thing about LE Wilson is they sell one size per caliber, designed to be used on new brass, and don't offer multiple mandrel diameters. To avoid being fan-boy-ish 🤣 I also have complete "caliber sets" of mandrels from 21st Century that range from ~-0.004" to +0.002" in 0.0005" increments for upsizing after a bushing die, but the LE Wilson set I keep separate and only use for new cases. Expanding mandrels from several companies that make neck turning equipment can also work, but usually need to size down afterwards. Multiple good options out there, but LE Wilson is the easy button for new brass without having to go down the rabbit hole of choosing sizes and so on.
