[QUOTE="Rardoin, post: 2030297, member: 114954"] Yes, the IDOD is nice. It removes any internal bulges, particularly 'donuts' near the base of the neck which can be problematic in wildcats, much more effectively than a mandrel expanded case externally turned. It is also lightning fast and does not require lube; it is much less messy. But...WAY overkill unless you want to turn necks on the side for profit or you need very large batches of prepped brass. My cases turned on a 21st Century lathe shot the same as those turned on my IDOD. Frankly though case neck turning 'for precision' is over rated in my opinion. It is necessary if you are forming certain cases or choosing to run a tight neck chamber but my results with turned necks are no better on target at 300-1000yds than a properly tuned load/bullet combination using out of the box necks. I know this may rub a few the wrong way but I have tested this (as well as many of my competition colleagues) and we have all come to the same conclusion. Flame away...I wear Nomex undies!:D [/QUOTE]
