[QUOTE="gohring3006, post: 1241717, member: 78762"] I dug up some fire formed brass, all the brass with every rifle is less than a .001. So I lubed the necks with the imperial neck lube, and neck sized a 30-06 case with the Hornady neck die. Boom! .008!!!! Sized one in my RCBS FL die set up to size the neck and body but not the shoulder and got .003-.004. I removed the expander in the Hornady neck die and got .004. So..... That die is junk!!! I wonder if Hornady will make it right or is it in their spec? I sized a 6.5 Creedmoor brass with the Hornady Neck die, with lubed neck and got .003 or slightly less... So I'm thinking I can maybe work with it and get it lower... Maybe.. I turned the necks on a few 30-06 brass but I don't quite have the hang of it yet, so I'm going to practice more on junk brass before I measure for a definitive answer.. So far I'm not liking Hornady reloading equipment right now. Between the die and, I realized my pins are wore out on my Lock N load single stage that I use to swage primer pockets... I am shipping it back tomorrow. I might as well send that junk die with it!! [/QUOTE]
