[QUOTE="dok7mm, post: 1284088, member: 90080"] Wish it were so easy. Bushing dies will not reduce the entire neck length of a case, it leaves a bit of the fired neck diameter adjacent the neck shoulder junction. If you turn this section, you are going to cut it thinner than the rest of the neck. This could cause a separation of the neck, depending on the depth of the cut. I like to turn my brass very slightly into the shoulder material --- this helps prevent donuts, so I would be having a thin ring in my necks. If this would work, I could be using my Whidden bushing dies. In my first post, I mistakenly said I was going to turn for .005" clearance, what I meant to say was that I was skim turning to .0145" for a .004" clearance. I don't need to turn for neck clearance, but I do want to reduce case neck variance in this lot of brass. This lot of brass runs from .014" to .0155" The Hornady neck sizer should solve my problem, if I really have one. It all depends on how well it shoots, when I start working up loads. Thanks anyway.
