[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 715675, member: 25383"] I used to use the oversized expander, but not anymore. I polish the mandrel down to where it's about a half thousandth to a thousandth under the neck ID. Then I run the cases thru a full length die again just to be sure. I use powdered graphite for a neck lube in the I'D. But before I cut the first shaving, I sort the cases. You may find some neck O.D.'s that are undersized and yet some that are somewhat oversized for what ever your looking for. Ideally you want to shave a max of about .004" to .005" total, but dosn't always work that way. If I have to remove more that six thousandths, I like to make it in two cuts (just works best for me) as I seem to get a better finish on the brass. I also like to leave about three to four tenths on the neck O.D. to polish off with a Scotch Brite pad. Lastly, for a finish cut I prefer to do it the hard way; by hand. I will rough the necks with a B&D electric screw driver gary [/QUOTE]
