More on the neck turning:
I have the idea that neck turning cases is just between the popularity factor of a colonoscopy, and a Dental root canal.
Based on what you folks have so kindly written, (a great big THANKS for your help) I believe due to time constraints, with the Sinclair being U/A, and the satisfaction level of the Forster owners, that's the way I am going to go.
And, yes, safety is my great concern, but--I have determined that the slightly too-tite neck seems to be a very narrow rim at the extreme mouth of the case. Get by that “rim” and the bullet is a nice slip fit in the case neck. I measured the case length, and it is at the extreme maximum as shown in the SAAMI drawings. Sooo--I'm thinking to trim the case about .010” and see what's left, diameter-wise. And, also, I'm going to check and see if the R.C.B.S. sizing die might have a crimping shoulder in the end of the neck.
Please excuse if I sound so dumb about this, but the rifle, dies, cartridge, cartridge cases--in fact, everything associated with this endeavor, are brand-new to me.
Before closing my own version of War and Peace, let me say again the replies here are considered priceless to me, thank you all for your time, knowledge, and pertinent ideas.

In theory, there's no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is. My fate is not entirely in Gods hands, if I have a weapon in mine.
