[QUOTE="Sako7STW, post: 54785, member: 2112"] Hmmmmm, well I sat down last night and found some problems with the K&M system If I cant figure these out I will be sending it back. The first is the expander. When I extend the screw out far enough to stop the press it only has about 1 thread left because the STW case is so long. On top of that I use the RCBS Rock Chucker press and there isnt enough room to get the case in the holder while getting the screw in the mouth at the same time. So I have to remove the expander, put the case in and put the expander in and then expand it, and reverse the process, It took forever just to do five brass. Even then I think I was going to deep onto the expander because the lack of screw length. Once I got that done then it was time to try out the actuall turner. I set it up as per the TERRIBLE instructions, if you can even call them that, and gave em a whirl. Well the first thing I didnt like was there is no way to guide the case perfectly streight onto the reamer thus giving me no confidence that the inside of the neck is true and the cutters scrathed the inside of the neck as well, I really really did not like this. Then when I started to cut on the outside the tool worked fantastic except that it was hard to tell where the neck and the shoulder joint was and I ended up cutting a few to deep and I feel that would weaken the shoulder/kneck joint. My ponit being there is nothing to stop the cutter from going to deep. If any of you know ways around these problems please fill me in. As of right now I am not impressed at all cept for the ease of fine tuning the outter cuts depth. This pains me to say because I very much enjoyed talking to Ken and am not looking forward to calling him to tell him I am sending it back. [/QUOTE]
