Default RE: RCBS Neck Turner, Sloppy?

Will try and answer some of the questions. I did resize and trim all the cases. That was the first thing I did because I did try it with out resizing and it was way off. It seems like it is tight at first, but what I am dealing with is it is easy for at least me to not hold the case true to the axis and then not be doing it right. Also I am not using a reamer since I am turning the outside and not reaming the inside of the case.

So I came up with a different pilot. It is a hair bigger. The original pilot is .200 and most of my cases after resizing are .201 and some are .202 but this is just with a caliper. The new neck is made to .202 and then fine sanded so that the cases go on with a little pressure. Then as you can see in the pic it is the full length of the case and has a pin on the end that goes in the primer hole. This helps hold the case better. So far it works pretty good, but I have not done many cases since I do not have a Ball Mic here yet. Here are some pics, of what I came up with. The new pilot was made from a scrap air cylinder shaft turned on the lathe. I could just have a bad pilot, but I think I have a good idea and am willing to play with it for now.
