Neck Turning Part 1

How to neck turn brass. It's a fairlt simple process but it must be done right. If the case neck is too thin the neck will prematurely split. If you're converting an existing rifle case to another, especially necking down or shortening you usually have to turn them in order to get the cartridge to chamber.

how do you make a 7.5x53.5 from a 284 winchester ???? love to see a video how to do it .

[ammosmith]

@byrnemonty I don't have a K31 yet. When I get one I'll make a video on it

Thanks for the quick reply.... I started getting split cases just after 4 reloads. I'm annealing after 3 from now on on my .204. Very nice videos, thanks for sharing.

@Yellowshark667 Anytime. The 204 is more prone to splitting and so is the 17 Remington. Check out my annealing video.

Good video. Your press looks about as old as mine,35 yrs.

@ScopedOUT2 Dies are expensive and I don't have a rifle chambered for it yet....yet.

@ammosmith Hey Ammosmith,

Could you teach us how to reload 5.45x39 from A-Z? All these ranges (both in and outdoor) don't allow bi-metal jackets and thus depriving us 5.45 fans of shooting that cheap surplus or bear ammo.

Thanks

@ammosmith i ALSO have no specialised tools !

@fishblade2 also I notice you talked about how the inside reamer for this process is set at factory specifications. My question is do you have to buy one neck reamer for each rifle round you need to neck turn internally?

[fishblade2]

what about neck sizing neck turning on the inside. I know that this still thickens and you have to turn it as well. How do you do that?
