[QUOTE="birdiemc, post: 1818127, member: 29632"] Yes sir. And after doing it that way I measured the ID of the neck with a pin gauge and have about .0015 neck tension, perfectly consistent across the board. Not as much as I was shooting for, but I'm going to turn down the mandrel, with that shear tool I can take off .0005 easily and achieve the desired neck tension. So next batch I am going to remove the expander ball, and use the turning mandrel for a sizing mandrel too. Gonna see what that does for me. Hoping it gets me better alignment, as these bodies wobble quite a bit relative to the neck. BTW Dusty youre the inspiration behind this setup from conversations we had long ago. [/QUOTE]
