After working through all 20 tried to size them like a normal drawn case. It’s difficult turned brass does not size like drawn.

I chuck them in my lathe take about .002 or less off and they chamber fine. My guess is 12 G turned case being larger diameter would be more difficult to size. Don’t see why you could not do the same, turn just a bit off. They are a lot thicker and stronger than paper or plastic shells.

That's a great idea because at the base right at the rim is where the extrusion is.You can barely feel it running your finger over it.
Even if there was a full length sizer for full length 10 ga cases it may not get that far. Do you find taking them down like that weakens the case?
I think it's interesting that there is that much difference between a 1901 and a 1903 chamber, both the same frame sizes.
