Was watching some guys at the game show that were turning their brass in a drill and making the neck walls all the same thickness.
I asked where you could buy one but they didn't know as it came from a friend in America. Where could I get one.

I think your talking about neck turning, (not sizing which is done with a die). I bought my neck Turner from Sinclair in USA. But I am sure you would be able to get in UK now.
Is this any help?

I use a Hornady one, Sportsman Gun Centre show one on their website, but ring before ordering to see if they actually have it in stock.
You will also need calibre specific mandrels.
Unless you have a tight necked custom chamber or you intend to use bushing dies it is absolutely pointless neck turning your brass.

taking the high spots off even in a factory rifle aids grouping imo.in nuneaton your not far from norman clarkes they sell all that stuff.or give spud 1967 a call he will set you up and advise on whether or why you should bother.
Why is it pointless?
Concentric ammunition is accurate ammunition, if you have wall thickness of 0.015 at one side of the neck and .011 at the other side it takes little time or effort to turn the neck and it is a one time job, same as flash hole de-burring.
If loading to mag length with a jump to the lands, any efforts taken to help the bullet leave the case central to the bore can't do any harm?
With hunting ammunition, and the range that most shots are taken at, the difference is probably negligible, but if you don't do it the niggling doubt that you haven't fully prepped your brass will always be there.
