A real carbide cutter in 29 different caliber offerings! In terms of improved accuracy, no single reloading function provides a greater return on your time investment than turning eccentric case necks to a consistent wall thickness. At the point of ignition, your brass must expand to allow bullet release. If the brass is thicker on one side of the case than the other, the thin side releases the bullet first and causes a slight bullet-to-bore misalignment that can seriously impair accuracy. The Forster Hand Outside Neck Turner features:

  • Carbide Neck Thickness Cutter - This durable, smooth cutting carbide is precision ground with special angles and reliefs designed specifically for neck turning.
  • Micrometer Adjustment Knob - This makes it simple to affect fine adjustments in either direction. .001" (thousandth) index marks are clearly stamped on the body of the tool. Easily adjustable to a half-a-thousandth of an inch.
  • Centerless Ground Pilots (mandrels) - Our standard pilot is precision ground .002" to .0025" smaller than bullet diameter. But any special size pilot is available on a special order basis, which allows you to select from an infinite number of ground pilot sizes, all made to your specifications. A $10 special grinding fee applies.
