Next turning case holder

[Joe S]

I’ve got a Forster neck turning “kit” and find the plastic/nylon tool they supply just doesn’t cut it for me. Either I’m doing it all wrong or the tool just allows the case to slip about 25% of the time. I’m to the point of searching for a reliable replacement or, instructions on how to get a simply clamp device to do its job and grip.
Any suggestions?

There are a handful of holders that are basically a shelll-holder with a center post that tightens against the brass - they're a pretty good balance of secure grip, and easy change. K&M and others make them.

Hope that helps,

Case holder

Cordless drill with 1/2 in keyless chuck holds 6ppc or 308 cases

 

[Koyotekaller]

Put the case in just like a drill bit holds case without slipping

 

[Dave Coots]

Yes, directly on brass.....

Mickey Coleman gave the tip to me long ago.

i think the 21st century case holders are good.
in a lathe or drill

 

[Dave Coots]

Thank you

No problem. I turn 48 cases on a battery.

drills

my cordless always seems to be in the barn but i do pack it when i go to shoot.

so i got a dedicated half inch corded drill that stays hanging on my bench. strong and steady and never needs a charge cause i was driving screws or drilling a 12 in fence post.
luck-ray
