[QUOTE="Bob Wright, post: 1977244, member: 104363"] Dusty is correct. Since I had the dreaded donut issue, I bought the K&M turner and reamer. Once I got done, all the necks were .0125, no taper and no thick or thin areas. The bushing does all my sizing now for a .002 neck tension. Whatever variation in wall thickness, the bushing is going to round up the o.d. and force any irregularities to the i.d. When you seat the bullet, it's not a happy fit. Shaving bullets when seating or uncontrolled neck tension is going to be the norm. The copper jacket is at the mercy of harder brass. Annealing is a big plus too. Lots of loaders use a mandrel die to size the i.d. of the neck, turned or not. Turning just guarantees wall consistency and uniform neck tension, 360° around. [/QUOTE]
