    A couple years ago I picked up a #2 rolling block in .44 rimfire. After converting to centerfire I needed to make brass. I started with .303 Savage brass that had been converted to .44 Ballard extra long by Buffalo Arms. It was shortened to .965", then put in the lathe and the excessively thick neck turned down. This is a video I made showing my process.

    Your Dunlap lathe should be fine for doing the same thing.

    Mk42gunner, Dunlap was a brand of Sears like Craftsman and most likely was made by Atlas or 2 other suppliers in that time period of 1930's to 1970.
    The first 3 digits of the model# can be referenced to the Sears contractor.

    Years back, you only had two choices for 7.65x53 Argentine ammo. Military surplus or expensive Norma. I elected to form my brass using boxer primed once fired Israeli 8mm cases. I also had a 3 die set with an additional form and trim die. I neck reamed using a Forster case trimmer. Surprisingly those cases performed well and used the lower end of the many loads in the Lyman handbook. Now with PPU brass that's a thing of the past. Frank

    Sorry i am here late and i haven't read the whole post. When i neck turned I bought a K&M neck turner and it works great. but the key is the expander mandrel, get the right size and expand all the necks first.
