neck turning tool ?

Some rifles, such as my Dad's factory 700 7mm Rem Mag, require neck turning with certain brands of brass. He uses Norma brass, and his loaded rounds have a neck diameter just .002 smaller than his fired case necks. A bullet also wouldn't easily slide into his fired case mouths. We turned .001 off each side to give a total clearance of .004 between the chamber and loaded rounds.
 
I do not turn necks for hunting, only for competition . Started with K&M, bought one for each barrel, so that adjustment never had to be moved. Then I switched to pma and never looked back.

I'll buy your km ones :) I set Them up in my lathe and go crazy. Makes neck turning easy and quick

I just recently started shooting a Bergara B14 7mag, I took a fired case and tried to insert a Berger 168gr VLD and it would not slide in, this is using once fired factory Hornady brass out of that chamber. I was wondering why it would not slide in and after reading this forum, I now see what it means for neck turning. I have a 28 Nosler the bullets slide in easily on a fired case, but I have a donut it hits and stops the bullet from sliding in all the way. That was why I am going to purchase a K&M reamer and Turner.

I don't like reaming the inside of my neck's I feel it rough them up I prefer to use a mandrel push all imperfections to the outside then turn them off
