[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2442359, member: 116181"] Valid point. Have you considered K+M for turning tools instead of Sinclair's? The K+M turning body is less expensive than Sinclair's fancy model, but that's a benefit to me. The K+M is cheap enough that you can keep one per chamber instead of adjusting constantly. I have one that's set to match a reamer, and it will literally never move again because it's set to cut the final turn to match chambers cut with that reamer. I don't need the dialing in feature of the Sinclair's because I don't want to adjust the cutter constantly. I want to either turn the entire batch of lot matched brass I just bought (meaning I won't ever need that exact setting again), or dedicate a turning body to a reamer. K+M also has a good selection of cutter angles to better match shoulders, which is a pretty significant concern IMO. I was about to buy Sinclair's several times, but I'm glad I didn't because I've received much more benefit from the low cost bodies than I would have from the more precise NT-4000. Nothing against Sinclair's, I have plenty of their tools (including mandrels actually), but there are other options. [/QUOTE]
