[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 974180, member: 1521"] You should have the turner body, turner cutter(nearest your shoulder angle), turner mandrel, expander mandrel, expander mandrel die, and case/shell holder. You also need a ball mic to measure neck thickness, and good judgement about target thickness. Your new brass will be as easy as it gets to turn. This is the ideal state to begin. Just expand necks and turn, including a bit(1/32") up onto shoulders. Then size necks as you will and fire-form. Brass that is already fire-formed can be a challenge in turning to match. How will you REALLY get it back to new form(easy to turn)? The necks are expanded and carbon fouled, and shoulders blown forward. The turning mandrel will hate any carbon so that's gotta go. You'll have to size-down the entire neck length(can't do with a bushing). Then begin at the beginning with your turning system expander. Too late to head off future donuts with turning onto shoulders so never mind that part. [/QUOTE]
