[QUOTE="Remmy700, post: 1662329, member: 36564"] I always measure 10% of batch for base to datum line on shoulder and I pick the smallest measurement and FL size all brass to that shoulder bump measurement. Then measure 10% of the OAL lengths and trim all the brass to that shortest number. Then debur and chamfer. Now all your brass should be pretty uniform. That OAL is one of most important to pay attention to and get as perfect as you can. Once all this is done expander mandrel, turn. Then I usually will measure for correct bushing size and usually pick a bushing that gives me .003 to .004 neck tension then size with all the guts ripped out of die. Last step I run a NT mandrel through to set my necks to .002. Seems like a lot but good thing about neck turning is you only have to do it once!! [/QUOTE]
