[QUOTE="7mmRHB, post: 759312, member: 3584"] Montana, good questions, I was surprised when no one commented on the list. 1-- Turn case backwards in a Wilson Case trimmer and make a light cut until you're at least a bit past the primer pocket. There are no brands of brass that are square or perpendicular as the come from the manufacture. 2-- I always thought that Lapua brass was annealed but the first few necks popped the full length of the neck when easing the tapered expander through. The shoulder needs to be annealed further back anyway so it's no big deal to do it. The case needs to be expanded so that the neck shoulder junction starts to get the crease ironed out. 3-- The necks are a half inch long at this point so it's easier to get rid of it at this point so it's out of the road. 4-- I expand with the smaller mandrel to push some material to the outside of the neck for neck turning. there is about .030 thickness in the necks at this point so you need to get rid of brass inside and out . If you try to take it all out of the inside, the neck is uneven enough that you can't get it to clean up at .014" I hope that answered your questions. ---- 7mmRHB [/QUOTE]
