Turning a hot rolled bar gives it improved size, straightness, and concentricity together with freeing the product from decarburization, seams, and other surface imperfections.
If you begin the turning process with a cold drawn bar you would achieve all these attributes in addition to increased strength levels and improved machinability depending upon the grade of steel being used.
