I use RCBS, it works but would probably buy something else next time. But I'm not unhappy with RCBS. I run it in a drill press. Use a lee shell holder
I've not done much neck turning, but this is what I've used. I've probably had it 40+ years .....bought used then. I thought that it did a good job.....but I have nothing to compare the results to! I've used it for trimming, hollow-pointing cast bullets, and of course......neck turning. memtb

Not being able to find any quality brass for a 25-06 has led me to want to resize Lake City 30-06 brass that I have on hand.
I was told I would definitely have to turn the necks. I have never done this in 40 years of reloading. Am wanting to hear any opinions about who's neck turning systems I should be looking to purchase.
Thanks

The older Forster works well for me also. Setting the cutter up to take off a minute skim is it's only draw back. Firstly you need the rifle neck chambered under sized so just enough is turned off cases to prevent over working the brass necks. I also have never had consistency in neck thickness using inside neck reaming and prefer the outside cutter mandrel system.I have a Forster Original trimmer and bought the kit to turn necks, it works just fine. Also I removed the handle and use my DeWalt portable drill in its place, makes the process very easy and I get good results when turning the necks, or....simply trimming. I'd also like to suggest the Sinclair mandrel system to do the neck sizing before you turn the necks to prevent getting the donut after sizing the brass down from 30-06 to 25-06, or to not have to ream the necks before turning the brass. I believe there is a debate as to whether reaming is better than using a mandrel die, I personally prefer the mandrel die over reaming the necks.
