HLNeck Turning?
I posted this on the Wildcat forum but thought I could put it here also.
I have the RCBS case trimmer. Will the RCBS neck turning tool work with this? Everywhere I have looked they do not say if it is to be used with either the Trimmer 2 or the Trim Pro.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

b beyerIf you are going to turn necks, you are a lot better off doing it with some form of hand tool. [Sinclair, k&m, or the like] I have never seen one of the systems that incorperates a trimmer that was worth a damn. If you are not shooting a tight necked chamber, the rewards of turning are neglegable. If too much brass is removed you actually do yourself a disservice, in the sense that the neck of the brass is worked so much in resizing that cases fail prematurely. Just something to think about.

JALYeah, a Gunsmith type told me not to neck turn unless I had a Match chamber.

HLThat's the one I was thinking of getting. I have never neck turned before, but in forming 7-30 Brass from 375 Winchester Brass, the necks become tight in the chamber with a seated bullet.
Without the bullet the brass seats as it should.
Just wondering.
