Since Lee apparently isn't offering their neat little neck flaring tool( the one for the for the hand loader kit) for anything but the most common pistol calibers, and I have an interest in loading low velocity cast bullets for my .308, I have decided to make my own version of the tool. It seems simple enough
(this is a pic of the flare tool for .357)
It is just a little punch with a step that the case neck hits to prevent it from going too far and flaring the neck too much. Pretty simple, shouldn't be any issues with making one on a lathe, my only question is how much does the neck need to be flared out(diameter at the widest point of the tapered section)
