Daryl, thank you for that piece of information. I have an outside neck turner and while I don't relish the thought I'm now aware it might need to be done. Foreknowledge helps with problem solving!! If so many friends didn't give me their expended 30-06 brass I probably wouldn't consider it. Since I'm not an -06 fan or user I use the brass for reforming into a few different cartridges.

Wayne, that's been my experience. To date what Dave has done for me has worked and worked well but no one is 100% correct 100% of the time.

Iowa, I will enter your experience into my notes. I don't believe one can have too much information.

I have a couple sets of Hornady dies and they work ok. The thing about them I don't like is the same thing several do like. I can't stand that sliding bullet seater. It appears to work fine but I just don't like it...go figger.
