[QUOTE="P7M13, post: 2029271, member: 94154"] To answer seriously, I use the Forster Outside neck turner. [B][URL unfurl="true"]https://www.forsterproducts.com/product/hand-held-outside-neck-turner/[/URL][/B] Works great. Needs to be used AFTER you have sized the case so to guarantee a snug fit on the mandrel. I resized several hundred LC 7.62x51 into 7mm-08 when I couldn't find any on the shelves and refused to buy it online at > 50¢ apiece. LC is interesting brass. At least, this stuff was, fired from a MG. I tossed ~5% because I could never get it to fit my case checker. When sizing down the necks, the brass doesn't evenly flow, so you will have high spots on the necks. Anneal after resizing, too. Remember to use lots of lube when sizing down. I use a 50:50 refined coconut oil / 99% rubbing alcohol mix that doesn't stink to high heaven like the lanolin mix, is slicker than snot, and unless you use WAY too much, (i.e. see it running down the side of the case) won't produce dented shoulders. Wipes off easily and doesn't leave the gummy feeling like a lanolin mix if you don't wipe it off. [/QUOTE]
