[QUOTE="keithcandler, post: 1701060, member: 3728"] Necking down, brass flows...can't get around it. Plan on neck turning. It will help eliminate doughnuts if you neck turn at 6.5, then neck down. You will see around .0002 run out when you neck down on a perfect no run out at 6.5. It will take a few cases, trial and error to get the turner set up, then you are done. Always better to neck up, vs necking down. Alpha brass sounds like the ticket, in spades. If you neck turn at 6.5, you will never need a form die, as FL die will work! I like Lee sizing lube in the tooth paste type container vs any petroleum based product! K&M neck turner in a variable speed half inch drill is a marriage made in heaven. You can turn 5 cases per minute and goof off. Run out will be .0001 on a thousand cases. I dab the lee wax on the mandrel to keep any gauling from happening. You want to buy the Half inch drill with the speed control wheel on the trigger. You want slow speed. A nit pickers nit picker would neck turn at 6.5, neck down, then neck turn again for .0000 run out....this is a little OCD. [/QUOTE]
