[QUOTE="Rob L., post: 2429617, member: 120811"] I think your idea is a pretty good one. I do something similarly with the goal in mind to only even up the neck wall thickness. Like some have said, you'd be surprised how much on side of the neck can be thicker that the other, and it does help accuracy when removing high points. I used a Forster Neck turning tool and ground the inside diameter of it larger to slip over a Lee Case trimmer. That way I could Neck turn and trim to length all in one step. The Lee trim tool fits slightly loose enough for me to enter the cartridge neck and trim to length, and then by holding it to one side steady on the retracting pull, make the tool cut on the way out. the cartridge itself is held in a drill chuck via a Lee trim tool holder. I set the turning tool to just skim off the high point on the case neck, and also located it on the Lee trim length tool so it would be just shy of the cartridge angle in this example. I have since made further adjustment to be touching the angle. I have this set-up for each of the chambering I neck turn so I don't have to re set-up the tool for different ones.. I used red Dykem to mark up a 7mm-08 case in this video to highlight the skim cut.
