Elwood Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 This is written by German Salazar who's name may be familiar to those of you who use the 6mmBR.com site. The article has been copied and pasted with his permission, he is in fact a member of this forum. For my money this is the clearest and most comprehensive guide in how to neck turn and why. http://riflemansjournal.blogspot.com/2009/12/reloading-neck-turning.html'>http://riflemansjournal.blogspot.com/2009/12/reloading-neck-turning.html Periodically German updates the articles, so it's worth checking up on from time to time. If you get a chance read his article on Equipment and barrel break in, it's a great read.

Scotch_egg Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 I note the Barrel break in procedure to be exaclty the same as mine. It sure gets the results Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finman Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 you'd have noticed of course that German Salazar has registered as a member to this forum? may want to drop him a pm... I feel uncomfortable in the presence of (shooting) royalty, I am not worthy...and there isn't a hint of sarcasm in this statement, mean every word of it..

German Salazar Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 you'd have noticed of course that German Salazar has registered as a member to this forum? may want to drop him a pm... I feel uncomfortable in the presence of (shooting) royalty, I am not worthy...and there isn't a hint of sarcasm in this statement, mean every word of it.. How can I even post something after that one! I'm blushing at my keyboard and feeling very sheepish. Seriously, I love shooting and reloading and enjoy writing about it. My closest connection to royalty is an occasional trip to Burger King. Sadly, I can't check too many forums regularly, there are only so many hours in the day, but if anyone wants to write, please feel free, I really enjoy chatting about these topics. My email is german.a.salazar [at] gmail.com . I'm very flattered to see one of my articles linked here because I know the members of this forum are serious about the pursuit of accuracy. Thank you all and I hope it's useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brown dog Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 Ian, Great links; thanks! My closest connection to royalty is an occasional trip to Burger King. German, That made me chuckle! I too avidly read your articles; delighted to see you here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elwood Posted November 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 Would it be possible to make the neck turning article a pinned topic? I doubt there are any better or clearer scribblings done on the subject. Many thanks German. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hunter87 Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Doing that for every case would be a right ball ache Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1967spud Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 yes but its a one of exercise and the accuracy gain makes it a decent pay off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbal Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 It is quite hard on the thumbs-if you're getting ball ache you are probably doing something wrong! Of course,it's essential for tight neck chambers-a one off torture,as Spud notes.It doesn't separate the men from the supermen,but it does help separate the one small group from the regular small group aggregates. Gbal-ake ps:anything written by G Salazar is top notch info,clear,detailed,well written,authoritative,none better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrCetrizine Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 Remove the space from the end, after the last "/"and it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lukas_K Posted April 7, 2016 Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 Quick question for you gents - do you size the necks again after turning them, or do you go straight into loading them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al Posted April 7, 2016 Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 Link doesn't work for me either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukas_K Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 There´s a spare copy here: http://www.6mmbr.com/neckturningbasics.html , should be working fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbal Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 The German Salazar article is about the best I've read on neck turning. He's pretty good on most topics (though I don't think he rates velocity as "the be all and end all of rifle performance" so be prepared,if you think it is ! :-) gSal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finnbear270 Posted May 18, 2017 Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 I found this on neck turning by German salazar http://www.accurateshooter.com/technical-articles/neck-turning-basics Ta for that, I will be making use of this on a stock of fired .223 later this year.

gruntus Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 Delayed answer to the post above WRT to resizing after turning www. The mandrel I use expands the neck before turning. This requires the brass to be sized again (I full length size) prior to loading. HTH G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
