[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2879701, member: 115658"] I have been using this setup for many years and have turned 1,000's of case necks. [ATTACH alt="IMG_2012.JPG"]485088[/ATTACH][ATTACH alt="IMG_2014.JPG"]485089[/ATTACH][ATTACH alt="IMG_2015.JPG"]485090[/ATTACH][ATTACH alt="IMG_2017.JPG"]485091[/ATTACH][ATTACH alt="IMG_2018.JPG"]485092[/ATTACH] This is real old RCBS neck turner. The tiny little Allen head set screws holding the pilot were replaced by larger hex bolts (drill & tap aluminum turner body - ugly), the cutter blade is periodically sharpened & cutting angles maintained by the diamond faced file shown, a Hastings Triplet 10X magnifier is used to check out cutter edges & corners, the Dewalt cordless turns brass of .473 head size and smaller directly chucked into cordless. Three 6.5-06 samples are shown: top -- loaded 6.5-06 with 130 H ELDM (.30-06 necked down), turned to .287, neck wall .013 -- middle - unfired 6.5-06 case (reformed .30-06) -- bottom fired 6.5 - 06 case. This brass is once fired .30-06, Hornady nickel plated, from Once Fired Brass, it was annealed after forming to 6.5-06. Pics of cutter and pilot and diamond file. Tuning necks to .290 (seated bullet) give .003 - .004 clearance in chamber giving nice slip fit of .264 bullet into fired case. Brass is annealed every 4 firings and bullets have light crimp with a Lee .264 Win Mag factory crimp die. Bullets are selected to avoid donut formed at shoulder neck - nice slip fit throughout brass life. [/QUOTE]
