    Can also be used to hold and spin a case with a drill, with the neck in a gas flame for annealing for seven seconds and then quench. Well that's what I've read in a magazine anyway for when I get a "roundtoit".
    Yep +1, especially for annealing necks!

    I have the lee, im reloading for 223, 6.5x55 and 6.5x284 at the moment, lee is good for all the common calibres, but you can use the parent case cutter if its to the same length if its not so common, or get someone to machine down the mandrel.

    Otherwise you probably need to use one with adjustable length probably as mentioned above, but a bit more cost involved
