[QUOTE="cdherman, post: 1277350, member: 12282"] [b]Re: Neck turning, before or after fireforming, before transitioning to bushing neck sizing for[/b] The Forster setup has a hardened turner pilot that is sized .002 under the given bullet size. It is assumed that you have sized the neck and pulled the expander ball back through. It is noted in Forster's instructions that "the industry norm is to expand the neck back to about .001 UNDER the desired bullet diameter with the expander for adequate grip on the bullet" Thus they size their pilot .002 below bullet diameter. Sounds like Sinclair asks for a special mandrel that expands the inside a little larger for their turner. I assume afterwards you then follow the process with a bushing neck sizer to get it back down to hold the bullet? Thanks for the replies thus far. Sounds like I am on track with turning the necks (if necessary) at the very beginning. I have the Sinclair neck thickness gauge too, so I am not blind in that regard....... [/QUOTE]
