[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1383562, member: 2736"] This is just a description of the way I turn the necks. I always use a cutter that has the same shoulder angle or radius as the case and never quite cut into the shoulder. I try to come just short by a few thousandths so I don't thin the case at the neck shoulder junction. I know you said that you did not want a Donut but if you cut close enough the first firing will redistribute what little is left and there will be no thinning in this area. I use to try to turn into the shoulder, and I started lousing necks in the chamber.so I went back to leaving just a little of the neck un turned. If you did thin the neck shoulder junction, Be carful and inspect your cases after each firing. Everyone probably performs this task differently, but is a very important step in my opinion. I like the looks of Smokingholes turning but I would probably thin the shoulder If I cut that close. Some like the donut because it reinforces the neck shoulder junction. I prefer to turn all Of my cases before they are loaded for the first time and always, when necking up or down on my wildcats. this assures that after fire forming, the chamber can true the case up. Just the way I turn cases. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
