I agree it's better to avoid the donut in the first place.

I have not observed that problem occurring.
When you say .001" clearance are you talking loaded neck to chamber? When I was studying up on neck turning I found a lot of serious BR guys who would say that's too tight. Well it worked but in the end I went with .0015 after a bit of experimentation. I even did the tight neck thing where it wasn't necessary to size the cases just prime and seat a bullet. All just to play around and find out.

A custom on a Remington 700. Had many barrels on it then sold it, bought it back and am presently thinking about putting a 30BR barrel on it for the score matches at a local club. My favorite of all time barrel was a 6x47 Lapua. It is now a 22BR and I am not planning on setting up for that round.

I have been following this discussion.
I use the RCBS Trim Pro 2 manual case trimmer. I have the neck turning tool for it which can be adjusted to turn 22 to 50 caliber brass. The pilot for each caliber includes a cutter on the end.
Is this pilot/cutter sufficient to remove internal donuts?
I usually set the turning tool to just touch the neck on the outside, to take off any high spots.
I size 7x57 and 6.5x57 to 6mm Rem. 243 to 260 Rem, 308 to 260 or to 7mm-08, 284 Win to 6x284, and finally 243 to 22-243AI.
just an interesting note: In the case of the 6.5 x57 to 6mm earlier this year, I found my Redding neck sizer would not sufficiently size brass to fit the chamber of my rifle. I had to purchase an additional FL sizer. The FL sizer was not easily available a few years ago when originally shopping for 6mm dies.

Using a Lee collet die and turning the excess off as it grows from the shoulder - neck area.
The collet puts the donut on the outside, where it is easily turned off.
