Any recommendations on a neck turning tool to buy? The 3 I had in mind were: Forster, K&M, or Sinclair?

Thanks,

"The Pumpkin", K&M, then the standard Sinclair. Sinclair does make a new tool but haven't tried it or seen it up close. I use the Sinclairs. Not for any specific reason other than I was at the shop when they had some 2nd's that were cosmetic. I never adjust them after setting.

If you want the "Crem"

Get a Pumpkin. They are the best ones I have seen. I have three different makes and the Pumpkin is the easiest to use of the three. It has enough mass to remain reasonably cool, is shaped right to grip firmly and is very easy to adjust and accurate when adjusted. A superb tool.

Kelbly's, Inc. is the sole distributor for them is my understanding. I have two of them and wouldn't use any other but I've heard it said by some lyin' people that I'm hard-headed. ;)
 
I have question for you guys can you make one pass with the pumpkin when turning for .262 neck or do you need separate neck tool to take most of the brass off then use the pumpkin to finish?

The Forster line is a good line but... the neck turning tool which is good uses a pilot that when the set screw is tightened moves the pilot about .0002"
Therefore the finished neck is eliptical. At least 50 of my cases were.:(
Pumpkin all the way.:)
