[QUOTE="C1Pro, post: 2072055, member: 33074"] I like 21st Century Shooting's products. They manufacture a host of arbors for expanding and a great neck turning lathe with accuracy down to .0001" May I add, as a rule I have found higher priced brass to clean up faster, requiring less turning that cheaper brass. One word of caution however. Neck clearance of the case neck to chamber wall diameter should be kept under .006" Too much difference between these measurements will cause excessive case neck expansion and premature case neck failure. So, it isn't not necessary to clean cut the entire circumference of your brass in certain cases to achieve a little more constancy in your neck tension. Annealing in many scenarios may prove to be of help. All this depends on the neck wall thickness variation of your brass. Also, for case neck expansion, 21st Century makes mandrels of Stainless Steel, Titanium Nitride and Back Nitride. Caliber specific sets are also available, with mandrels in sets of 5 from +.001 to -.003" bullet diameter. I am fine with the Black Nitride NBE26 .263" for my 6.5 21st Century Shooting are very nice to deal with as well as Brownells. [/QUOTE]
