[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2572076, member: 116181"] This thread was about the LE Wilson "new brass" mandrel, which is designed to iron out neck dings in bulk packaged virgin brass and leave a sufficient fit in the neck to hold a bullet. [URL unfurl="true"]https://lewilson.com/wilson-expanding-mandrels-only[/URL] Before companies sold incremental mandrels like they do now, there were limited options of neck turning expanding mandrels, and then neck turning arbors that were often mistakenly called "turning mandrels" because they were slightly smaller than the expander. People used arbors as expander mandrels paired with bushing dies, but ultimately neither the expanding mandrel or turning arbor was the correct fit in new brass to maintain good interference fit for loading new cases without resizing them first. It's a niche tool for new brass, not really relevant to the post-firing sizing processes. [/QUOTE]
