Rather than neck sizing, using a collet or full length die, to set the diameter of the outside of the neck, during case preparation. I’m going to have a go at sizing the inside of the neck, using an expanding mandrel and holder, to set the neck tension, which seems an awful lot more logical to me, from a consistency point of view.
In the past I’ve used a K&M expander body and mandrel, to expand the case neck prior to neck turning. However I found there wasn’t an awful lot of space between the mandrel and shell holder to actually get the case into and out of the the press even with the die set at its highest, it almost seemed like my press was to short, or the die was set down to low in the press.
I’d be grateful to hear from anyone else thats had this problem with the K&M adapter and or any recommendations of another brand or design, which you’ve had success with.
Regards to all.
