[QUOTE="davewilson, post: 184296, member: 4491"] i think you'll get much better results if you get the right tools for the job. the decapping pin/rod/expander button is not meant to form necks with. i'm a little surprised you haven't bent it by now. Sinclare makes a tool that screws into a standard 7/8 threaded press that holds expanding mandrels for making necks perfectly round and can be used for other functions as well. you can get any size mandrel with them. 6, 7, 308, 338, you get the idea.this is excellent tool to make the necks perfect on any new brass. just go ahead and buy all the sizes that you shoot. for the edge, use the 308 first and then the 338. the other recommendation i would give is to use a different lubricant. there are several. i use imperial sizing wax. it's been around for a long time and i'm not sure anything works better. you can get it at Sinclares also. i don't think forming brass is what's meant for the lubes you're currently using.
