Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles Nosler 28 case quality for crap?

Doing a friend a favor cuz he can't get ammo. With a new set of dies I always check run out at the case neck after sizing. It was not good ...much .006 and over. I did every trick in the book with the expander stem drying multiple relocations and floating the stem and no improvement... start looking at case wall thickness and finding stuff from .0155 to .0195 all over the place on almost every case... kind of guessing that's my culprit. Is this the best Nosler can do with some of the most expensive ammo on the market for god sakes?
Has anyone else been seeing this with the Nosler cases?

.004" thickness variation around a case neck is really bad. Turning the necks may help some, but the irregularity in the brass likely continues down the wall of the case body and it will size like a banana anyway.

Yup... and I could probably fix this brass a little because I do have a neck Turner but now that I went through a batch of 24 trying to get that sizing spindle recentered all the brass seems too tight to go on to my neck turning mandrel..... I haven't been reloading for three or four years now and I was starting to doubt my capabilities but nothing like restarting reloading with a problem child.

My neck turning gear has two mandrels for a given size hole. One is an expander mandrel that's a little fatter than the turning mandrel.

ADG will fix your problems if you can find any, much tougher too
