I have a couple of K&M set-ups and they work great. As far as wear depends on how much you are taking off. If you are trying to fit a tight neck chamber it won't create more wear but you don't want to take abunch off for a factory chamber. I use mine on some wildcats to eliminate the donut and just clean up the outside.

This is the one I use, and it is very good and precise. and no, it doesn't wear the necks. You only turn enough to uniform the thickness in the neck.

There are cheaper kits but this is the best I have used.

I love my K & M kit. Expensive but you definitely get what you pay for with it.

Definitely not the best kit by any means but, for the cost I've been impressed with the Hornady neck turning kit. You have to "RTFM" and get it set up correctly or you can run into problems but when setup correctly, it works very well. Most complaints people have about the kit stem from being setup incorrectly and then blaming the product for failing. That said, there are definitely better options out there if you're willing to spend more.

With at ES of only 9-12fps I seriously doubt you're going to get much gain.

The biggest gain I've gotten on ES by far was simply by using minimal neck tension by using slightly oversize expanders so it barely holds the bullet in position then using a factory neck crimping die to put a very light crimp right at the case-mouth.

one thing I'll warn you about is when neck turning do not get into the shoulder/neck junction at all or you will severely weaken the case. I ruined a bunch of very expensive cases by doing just that.
