Manual

Case-neck turning is standard practice for all types of shooters these days. If your cases have .002"

or more of wall variation, neck turning undeniably delivers you some of the greatest accuracy return

on your investment in handloading time. The Forster Handheld Outside Neck Turner is easily adjust-

ed to remove brass from the thick side of case neck walls. A case-holder handle is included.

FEATURES

 CARBIDE NECK THICKNESS CUTTER — This long-life, smooth-cutting carbide is preci-

sion ground with special angles and reliefs designed for neck turning. The cutter approach

angle allows turning right up to the case shoulder.

 MICROMETER ADJUSTMENT KNOB — This knob makes it simple to make fine adjust-

ments in either direction. Index marks at increments of .001” are clearly stamped on the

knob of the tool, and adjustments to half-a-thousandth of an inch can easily be made.

 PRECISION GROUND PILOT (mandrel) — Our standard pilots are precision ground

.0020” to .0025” smaller than bullet diameter. This will produce a slip fit for most cases that

have been drawn over a standard size expander. Standard size pilots are available in 28

sizes for bullet diameters ranging from .224” up to .513”. Any special-size pilot is available

on a special-grind basis. We ship special orders quickly. This service can provide you with

an infinite number of ground pilot sizes, made to your specifications. A $10 special grind-

ing fee will be added to the price of the pilot.

Remember that very few changes will provide a more sensational improvement in accuracy

than the act of turning eccentric case necks to a consistent wall thickness. At the point of igni-

tion, your brass has to expand to allow bullet release. If the brass is thicker on one side than the

other, the thin side releases the bullet first and causes a slight bullet to bore misalignment that

can have disastrous effects on accuracy.

IPS FOR PREPARING YOUR CASES

 Use older, less-favorite brass cases until you get a feel for neck turning.

 Full length or fully neck size and expand the cases before neck turning.

 Chamfer the inside of the case mouth, then clean the necks internally and externally.

 Purchase a good sizing lubricant such as Forster High Pressure Case Lube, to lightly lube

the pilot.
