[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2810891, member: 115658"] Sure is- I do this all the time. Quit turning upon complete clean-up & easy slip fit of bullet into fired case. In response to the magnifier man - .003 to .004 radius reduction is not excessive. Turned brass does not need an expander button. Happy memories of neck turning 500 (less then 10 matches) or so .308 W cases used for match shooting by chucking a Forster neck turner in a drill press. This provided uniform neck wall thicknesses, minimum run out, extended brass life (no expander button), and uniform neck tension (bullets easily slip fit into fired cases). Brass was 7.62X51 GI Match Brass, LC, no primer crimp, scrounged free from Army team. 600-yard scores averaged 194 plus, with many X's - would have made Master class except for standing scores & job transfer to Alaska. The nice shiny necks looked cool. 168 Sierra MK's then 168 Hornady match bullets, H380. RWS primers. [/QUOTE]
