Looking at getting a case neck turner. Which one do you guys like?
.22 and .30 cal. would be what I would use it for mostly.
.221 and .308

K&M for me.

I have the RCBS Hand Case Neck Turner & Case Holder. I only use it for precision work on .223 Rem. Works fine for me, no complaints.

I have an old Marquart, I think that is how to spell it, that I like very well. I think K&M bought them out years ago. Anyway K&M mandrels will fit it. I like it very much. It is small and easy to handle. K&M would also be a good first choice. It is like an upgraded Marquart. Sinclair is excellent but most I've seen are fairly large if you like large tools. I prefer these designs and any of these are excellent tools. I can't think of any from the major manufacturers that you should stay away from. They all seem to work well. Used ones are easy to come by. Ebay has them pretty often. Try and get one with the sizing and turning mandrels that you will need. They are pricey if you have to buy new mandrels.

I use the Forster with excellent results. When Redding came out with their micrometer adj trimmer I bought one of those & was sadly disapointed, went right back to the Forster & chalked up the Redding as a foolish waste of money.

If you have a lot of neck turning to do, the Forster is easy to adapt to power operation. I needed to turn the necks on 200 6mm PPC cases, hooked up my cordless drill to the adapter and made short work of them.

Yep, ya can even go to extremes. :mrgreen: I made this machine for my Forster 20-25 years ago. 5 output shafts with three different shaft speeds, two motors. Does everything to brass that you don't need a press for.

Now, that's cool tool, Rick! ... felix

Me too, Floyd! I have the 22 and 30 mandrels for the same hand held machine. I prefer all micro-work be with hand held devices because of feel. But, agree with inside neck turning with chopped down cases. If for a bench gun, then re-do with outside turning, hand held. ... felix

It goes through brass like a hungry dog through dinner. :mrgreen: Here's a pic of it after turning 414 Super Mag brass into proper fitting 41 mag.

I made a tool holder for the Sinclair primer pocket uniformer & do a box of 100 in 10 minutes. The Forster outside neck turner has a fast enough RPM that turned brass looks like it's been polished. The two larger shafts on the right side are an RCBS inside/outside chamfer tool, actually one tool cut in half & mounted in tool holders. On the left side (not in picture) is a flash hole uniforming tool. That aluminum box turns drudgery into quick & done. It sits on the back of the bench & I slide it forward when needed.

Yep, I like my Forster trimmer. :mrgreen:

One more vote for Forster.

I have one just like cbricks. (NOT!)

[DLCTEX]

Better not let OSHA see that chain and sprocket without a guard. They once made us put a guard on a driveline that was 12 ft in the air.(:

[cbrick]

When I built it I planned on a chain guard, it's on the roundtoit list. In the mean time I said to self, self do not stick fingers in chain. It's worked so far. :mrgreen:

I use Sinclair's NT-1000, works well for me and my .30 cals.
