[QUOTE="IHFarmer07, post: 2020744, member: 75397"] What sedancowboy said or what I and several others use is gage pins to find them, like what machinists use.....some others also uses the bullet too after you fired the rnd but I’ve not had luck using that method. You can buy gage pins on Amazon for reasonable or a hole set. I and others use the K and M neck turning tools, they have a carbide mandrel that has cutters to take them out from the inside. For me, the carbide cutter mandrel didn’t work as good as I thought it would. Now, I don’t know if that alone will help/work but, after buying the tools and not knowing much about some of this, I used the neck tuner as it was bought with their “standard” cutter for awhile to no change to things. So I moved to another process which was neck reaming. I bought a forester trimmer and a id reamer or two and that really didn’t work. I did more research on the subject and found some other ppl on another site talking about “chucking” reamers and they come in all kinds of sizes. I bought several and returned those to Amazon that wasn’t going to work. I tried them for awhile and it really sucked to hold the brass and it just wasn’t fun. Then, I researched more and stumbled on shooters saying that basically to turn necks properly to get rid of donuts you have to have the same or close to the the same degree cutter as your brass neck/shoulder. So I got the proper cutter degree for my brass, which K and M now sells carbide cutters in different degree angles. In my research I found out that a person should just barely touch the neck shoulder, “don’t ask how many pcs of brass I ruined”😉. So, in a long winded answer short, IMO the ONLY way to take donuts out is neck turning......get a neck turner that has the correct degree cutter for you neck/shoulder, turn just to the neck/should junction and that should do it.....don’t go to deep, you will blow the necks off or the neck will come off in your sizing die......don’t ask how many has done this for me! Now, what I do is I have everything set up to where I have neck turners and trimmers just for one cartridge, if I reloaded for 10 guns I’d have 10 trimmers and neck turners, although if it’s a 300-400yrd and under gun, neck turning is not worth it IMO...... Sorry for the long winded answer/process but I’ve just about tried it all. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
