I bought that one too becaues they were the only company that had pilots for .35 cal and bigger. I have been pleased with mine.

I bought a couple made by K&M Services (Ken Markel). But generally I prefer not to turn the necks of big bores because I want the bullet held as tightly as possible so that it does not move under recoil. However, depending on how thick your brass is and how tight your chamber is, it may be appropriate to turn necks.

Thank you for the info I will se how thick it is without turning the necks.
Please keep the info coming I know very little about this - what it's called again.... ree-loading

Unless you have a very tight chamber( and you know exactly what its dimensions are) and you absolutely have to turn the outside neck diameter, DON'T.
I only turn necks for guns that absolutely require it. Your often better off with a concentricity tester and rejecting rounds with a runout over .005 or so. -Rob

Thank you Rob.

Andre,
If your need to turn necks on a big bore then your in trouble, your chamber is too tight..A big bore is for dangerous game, and tight chambers and turned necks are not for this past time, they are for target and varmint hunting where a jam or malfunction is not life threatening...

Also that degree of accuracy is not needed in big game hunting..and if you are turning necks just to be turning necks then you will have trouble with bullet purchase..You should in fact probably turn about .003 or .004 off your resizer button, to make that bullet purchase even tighter...

Also in a lot of big bore brass the cases are weak and thin in the first place, example is the double rifle cartridges.

Andre,

I have to agree with Rob and even Ray on this one. You should not need to neck turn, particularly if you are using "quality" brass. My cases typically are only 0.008" to 0.012" thick in the neck area anyway, with an occasional one being a whopping 0.015" thick.

I will not get the Neck turner just the case trimmer I will be loading in the next few weeks when I get the Impala bullets. My woodleighs will arrive in August
