if you do them with a battery drill you can do them while watching the project (bad joke lol) l'm not allowed to do it in the house :lol: :drinks:


Yes i will do them all marksman...what i meant was, some are now neck sized, so do i use the internal cutter on the ones not sized, & use the neck turner for the sized ones...?

Or just use both on all...? (for this time around)

I believe the best way to prevent the brass flow problem which the 22/250 is known for and stop your donuts forming would be to get a rechamber to Ackley Improved, never FLS or trim cases again.

what you do for one is done for all but start by putting them through a mandrel to make the necks all the same inside diameter
if you are worried that some will be tighter than others FLS them all first then heaps of wet lube and size with the mandrel slowly in small steps

Not many guys want to put a reamer up their 22/250 but you can be kind to your brass by sizing the neck as little as possible and avoid using expander buttons. All this pushing and pulling draws the brass..
