[QUOTE="Gene, post: 498427, member: 7402"] Always use an expander before turning necks. Do not use an inside neck reamer, ever. I have the Forster trimmer-turner also. Its OK for trimming but does not do a good job of neck turning. I have gone to K&M neck turners and love them. Once set, I dedicate that turner for that rifle only. Lightly lube the mandrel each time you turn. I assume your 308 fits a factory chamber. If so, all you need to do is very lightly skim the case neck, to create an even thickness all around. Measure the brass thickness on several places in the neck with a tubing mic. [/QUOTE]
