[QUOTE="Mc Fraser, post: 1959944, member: 106529"] Hello everyone! I need help selecting a good mandrel to be used as a final step before seating the bullet. In my mind a mandrel has to have very low tolerances less then 1/1000 thou and be honed to have a very smooth surface. I see the most popular is the Sinclair one but people are complaining about the quality. The carbide one seem to be good but can you polish carbide smooth the surface? LE Wilson makes one and I just love it from pictures. It looks like it is polished like he is trying to make a mirror out if it. The downside's only half a thou under. Is that enough for a 300 PRC for hunting? 21st century has a good selection for each calibre in half a thou increments, but their website is atrocious can't tell from the pictures if I'm buying apples or mandrels. What else is out there that if very good quality? [/QUOTE]
