That will start getting expensive after a while. What exactly is it you are trying to achieve?

Artistic photo aye! Seems there are few neck turned in that box they are in focus. Is this dasher? hence why the necks are only turned halfway or so and same for the neck sizing?

neither did I when I used your form dies!

The chamber neck diameter is 235.

The 22 dies takes it down in two stages, The second one takes it to 24something.

You can squeeze it in and close the bolt at that diameter so no false shoulder as such, the chamber neck is squeezing it down like a cone but with enough tension to hold the case in that it should fireform. Luke reckons if you can close the bolt you can fireform!
But that's all moot if it cant hold a pill, which it cant at chamber neck diameter. I reckon I am going to need a 231 or 232 bushing but the biggest I have is a 227 so that little bit that looks like it has been turned is the bit sized with the 227 bushing so it can grip the pill, no need to neck down any further as long as it can hold a pill for fireforming.
