I just got in some new brass (bottle necked) with several case mouths pretty jacked. But, I definitely don’t think they’re past saving. My thoughts are to run them through a mandrel die first. Or, adjust the expander to enter about the same time the neck is entering the taper portion of the die. What process are y’all using? This is brass that’s a little tough to get right now.
Full length size.
Trim, chamfer and load.
Same as any other new brass.

I’ll give one case a go and see how it turns out. The brass is folded inwards but not over. Far worse than the typical though.
If they are really bad use a tapered punch, insert in the neck by hand and we and wa it around by hand. (Technical term)

This was kind of my thinking with using the tapered mandrel before FLS die.
Your location says middle of b c. Is that British Columbia kind of BC?
Yes, North Thompson,40 miles north of Kamloops.
Spent about a half year in Alberta on business. I know someone that lives in Kamloops. Spent a few nights there on the way to Victoria Island. Drove across the whole province obviously.
Or send pics of bad brass to manufacturer and see if they will exchange for good pieces.

This works.
You can also insert needle nose plies and twist them around in the mouth until it's open enough to run through the sizing die.

I like it. Thanks
Yup, I just run them into the expander mandrel or into the expander part of a FL die. No big deal.

That's what I do. IF they're really bad, I just use a mandrel several calibers smaller and work my way up.

Lightly lube inside the case neck too.
FL Sizing Virgins,is THE dumbest fhuqking thing you can do to brass. Hint.
Virgins as a minimum,get NSO'd,to ascertain/uniform constriction. The also get VLD inside case mouth deburring,after sizing. Hint.
Depending upon chambering,said flavor of Virgins and dimensional sametitude of brass,it might get it's neck bumped up,so I can positive headspace a false shoulder. Very often so on belted cases,especially,if I can't procure a larger diameter of same. Hint...............
I use a Lee Collet die on new brass.
Lee makes nothing but Dog Schit and I'd not compromise a string affixed to a Duck Decoy with one. Hint..............

Coming full circle,headspace control is paramount and starts with Virgins. FL fhuqking that up,is VERY fhuqking funny schit. Key on EVERY rifle,is to make a headspace determination,then feed it Virgins that control same. Hint.

I typically just size the necks with a fl die or use a bushing with expander for virgins but had a batch recently with more run out then I would like. Not sure if it’s the die or something else. Is NSO’d neck sizing OD as in no expander?
Thanks

Use a pick or a punch or a plier to get it back to close then FL size and rock on. You might want to anneal if they have not been before.
I use a carpenter's Nail Set to round collapsed necks. It is a cheap, readily available tapered punch.
I usually run the expander through the neck to get uniform neck tension. If they’re dented too much for the expander to enter the neck, I use a tapered punch to open them up.
300 H&H, 35 Whelen and 375 cases get bumped up a bit and then sized to the original diameter just enough to give slight resistance on chambering in order to establish a good shoulder.

So are you going to straighten them, or toss them?? Let us know which method you choose, and what works, if you decide to salvage them.
To answer the OP, mandrel dies often work just fine for the topic. You will, however, get different neck tension on that first loading that subsequent loads. To me, that doesn't matter because the first firing is for fire-forming.
If you want to have more relevant data, compare the "headspace" of your new brass to brass fired from your chamber. But if you want to start initial load development, size the necks and don't push the shoulders back any with your FL die, then use the mandrel you'll be using from that point forward.

Fully aware that I will be flamed but way back I ordered a Lee decapping, and sizing stem in .30 caliber, which I used to open up the brass from a .270 to .30 caliber and then made a false shoulder using my .280 RCBS dies. I bought this stem after lots of looking and I liked the taper better. I also used it in my Lee universal de-capping die. I did not lose a case out of a hundred. Lee has some products that work good, and some maybe not so good. My old original hand primer is the best. Too bad they quit making it. miles

When this is the quality of work you do, stop posting pictures and stop giving advice.
I did wonder how this thread got so long, but as soon as I see that the Dwarf of PoW Island chimed in, that quickly explained that. Imagine how lonely some idiot has to be, to go so far out of his way, to cry to the world " I'm right here!!! Give me attention PLEASE!!!!" My favorite thing that Schtick does, that I want to see pictures of, is the several times every couple of months, he falls down the out house hole, because he's drunk while taking a dump. It takes him several days to climb out, since no one is around putting up with him. I WANT TO SEE THAT DOCUMENTED SO WELL, as he attempts to do on everything else... thinking anyone is actually interested. Even his old Emergency Response Team has given up on him, finally realizing what an idiot he is...
BUT back on topic.
I didn't see anyone post about my simple way to solve the OPs problem. I pick up plenty of range brass, that has been fired in some sort of semi auto firearm, and in ejecting the spent case, often ends up mangling the neck. I have found that by simply taking the spindle out of the die, I can size it full length and by doing it slowly ( but not that slow, just don't ram it) it will usually take that out of round ding right out of the neck.. if it doesn't do it in the first try, the second time usually will.
If I have a Hornady Universal neck sizing die, in that bore diameter, that will also put the neck right back into the position you need it to reload the case once again.
Two simple ways. One has no cost attached to it, or roughing up the brass's neck ( removing the spindle)
The Hornady Universal Neck sizer die, usually cost me about $20 or less, so I have a fair number on hand. I take the decapping pin off of the spindle and I've had 20 and 30 years of service out of these type of dies... for $20 or less.
Just passing on what has worked for me...
Back on OFF TOPIC.... Stumpy, go get drunk and fall down the outhouse hole again, and leave the world alone for a couple of days, while you struggle to get out once again....or have you finally figured out to just put a rope down there to make it easier to climb out when you fail down it every couple of weeks...even with two working brain cells, you'll finally get the right idea... while down the hole in a pile of schitt, at least it gives you some time to sober up....until ya get out.
I saw the same picture on another site.
you don't think short, dopey and stupid looking has been swiping pics from other people on other sites, and acting like that they were actually his instead?
Naw, Schtick is an upstanding and righteous kind of guy. He wouldn't do something like that WOULD HE?? it must be the reason his wife left him the day after their daughter graduated High School. But Schtick does keep her memory alive, by using all the junior high school girls, nail polish choices behind, which he uses to "camo" some of his rifles? Unless he uses it up, using it on his own nails, to attract other gay guys down at the bar in town. Lotta of social reject kind guys like Stumpy all over the place in rural Alaska....
Here’s the update: 1. I took a form and trim die with a neck of the same caliber so that the neck diameter was not able to distort past OD. 2. Then used the “we and wa” method that our BC neighbor and others recommended to prepare for next step. 3. Took a pair of round needle nosed pliers and turned them incrementally into the neck as the taper increased until the necks were right back where they belonged.
I worked them over and straightened them so quickly that I regretted making a post which turned into a platform for “Little Twig” to exhibit his demented behavior. Thanks to all of you who were actually trying to be helpful.

I’m glad the original poster got it figured out as it’s pretty easy to take care of that situation and I understand his concern with hard to get brass. As far as twiggy coming in and taking over something and trying to insult everybody while making himself look like a fool he has such a hard on for new brass getting ran through Fl sizing die and being oversized to which I think is fuucking hilarious (hint). From my experience unless you buy Petersen long brass, most all your new brass is under sized and running it through a full length die won’t change jack shiit other than straighten the neck. Now the after the first firing and it expands to the chamber dimensions is different story and then you can oversize it.(hint) fuucking laughing. Now before you get all spun up Twiggy and come back with a tirade making yourself look like a fool I fire form all my new brass with cream of wheat before sizing to get the headspace that I want.

Just to keep this overly long thread open...
At the range the other day, there was a lot of shiny .45 acp brass on the ground in the bay where I was shooting my pistols. Normally I don't pick up .45 acp brass because I have more than a lifetime supply at home, but a lot of these were on the concrete and easy to pick up, so I picked up 30 or so of them.
They were once fired RA 65 cases, and, to keep in line with this thread, most of them needed to have their case mouths straightened as they had at least one flat side of the case mouth. Some case mouths looked like triangles or squares. They all had crimped primer pockets.
Over the years I've made a bunch of case mouth long taper expanding plugs that fit in a case mouth expanding die that I bought. My collection of expanding plugs didn't have one large enough to fully expand a .45 acp case, so I spent about an hour and made a new one. Usually I make these expanding plugs from steel bolt shafts, but just for 30 cases, I decided to just make an expander out of a brass rifle case, and a 6.5 Creedmore case looked like it would work.
I first de-caped the fired primer from the 6.5 C case, then drilled out the flash hole with a 5/32" drill and threaded it with a 10-32 tap. I then cut off about 2/3 of the case neck, and used a couple of my other case neck expanding plugs to open this case neck to .35 caliber. I slightly decreased the first 1/2" of the body of the case just behind the shoulder by sizing it in a .44 mag size die. I then decreased the diameter of a round head 10-32 x 3/4" machine screw to fit inside the case, and tightened that screw so the threads stuck out of the base of the case and screwed into my case expanding die.
This whole process took less time than this did to write it down on this forum thread.
Some of the badly bent .45 acp case mouths I had to straighten a little with a needle nose pliers, but most of them quickly fully rounded with one pass with my new expanding die plug. They looked so good that I went ahead and straightened the mouths of all of the other cases. Then a quick cut on a countersink drill bit removed all of the primer pocket crimps.
I just finished washing, drying, and tumbling these cases and they look like they are "new out of the box."
And I now have a .45 acp case mouth expanding plug if I ever want to straighten .45 case mouths.
I'll start opening Mail here in a bit

Cool .... You got a neato sticker too.
I'm humbled by the sheer volume of cool stuff you get. I could never do that, but then I'm sitting on 1.15 million in pension and savings instead and more coming in daily, not to mention totally debt free. House and newer vehicles included. How's you're retirement future looking. All those scopes will surely help. Laffin'
