CARBIDE NECK TURNING MANDRELS Reviews & Ratings

SINCLAIR CARBIDE NECK TURNING MANDRELS

Sinclair stainless steel neck turning mandrels for 17 through 50 caliber cartridges are turned from high grade stainless steel on precision turning centers. Turning mandrels are sized .002" under bullet diameter. The shape and surface of all of our mandrels is the result of years of experimenting by many expert handloaders. Our Carbide turning mandrels are precision ground from solid carbide stock, which yields even closer tolerances. All Carbide mandrels are ground to .002" under bullet diameter. Adjustments on our NT-4000 turning tool will be more consistent with carbide mandrels due to the tighter tolerances of the mandrels. Large caliber (35 to 50 caliber) mandrels fit only the Large Caliber Expander Body and the NT-5000 Turning Tool.

Insufficient Packaging

The mandrel fell out of its plastic packaging during transit and was floating around the padded envelope unprotected. I don't see any obvious damage with the naked eye, but I am worried that it could have been bent during transit. Photo attached to show the tube that these are packaged in. It seems that Sinclair could use a simple piece of tape to keep the red cap in place during transit.
