Hi all

Im new to the reloading forum, hanging out in the African hunting part more.

I am an relatively experienced reloader, but living in Africa, we do not always see all new products, techniques, etc.

My question is: Is there any way other than inside neck turning which removes doughnuts from case necks?

(I hope I am using the correct term ,we call the thickening/ flow of brass at the junction of the shoulder and neck that restricts a bullet, a doughnut. There might be anotehr term, which I would obviously also like to learn.)

In my case, it is only my 9.3x64 that does it, and only with RWS brass.

Hey Karl

The only way to get rid of do-nuts that I know of is to inside neck ream. The only 2 reamers I am familiar with are the Forster reamer and the K & M hand held turner with the cutting mandrel.

I use the Forster reamer in my hand held outside neck turner since the reamer and the outside turning mandrel have the same size stem



the Forster reamer is .003" over caliber so you have to set your neck thickness on new brass to give you .003" clearance in the chamber. After once firing you will have .003" over caliber on the inside diameter of the neck and then you can use the reamer.

The K & M can be used after sizing and then using the expander to expand the neck so the neck size will be right to accept the cutting mandrel. However the K & M is much more expensive and IMO the cutting mandrel does not do as good a job as the Forster.

MacArthur Williams lives in Australia, in the USA he would be a genius, in Australia no one even notices him, there must be similarities between Africa and Australia, in a bind and if I needed to cut, ream or remove material from the inside of a case neck I would make a broach cutter,( a cutter with varying diameters and cutting edges ground into it ) it could be pulled and or pushed.



I have adjustable reamers, straight and tapered with reamers I have acquired through the years with an index drill set so it looks strange by my 35 Whelen neck reamer has a Morris taper. Drills and reamers can be used before and or after sizing when a few thousands is critical.



One of my favorite dies is the trim form die, I do not have the 9mm62 die but when the trim/form ids is used, the die supports the case and is open on the top, the same for the expensive RCBS Reamer die, $80.00+ not including the reamer, the reamer is another #80.00, so like my friend in Australia I do not spend a lot of time standing in line to purchase the new nice to have tool, by the time the tool arrives he is finished and starting on something else.

wilson is the way to go as the case is held in perfect alignment.
