I was wondering about this exact point. My fire formed brass is 0.344 neck OD, and with a 0.337 bushing I would be compressing 7 thousandths. I thought I read on the Redding site that problems typically occur past 8 thou (end up with a narrower OD than the bushing is supposed to create), but...

Thanks. I was debating between the Sinclair and the Neco.

Thanks for the great info, I will definitely give this a go. Any recommendations on a concentricity gauge, I don't have one yet?

Great, thanks for clarifying! Yes, I noticed the exact same thing about neck wall thickness. When I used the measured thickness of the walls [(wall thickness x 2) + .308 -.001) I was getting .341 or .342 for bushing size, which would clearly be way too big. I now see how normal calipers are...

Thanks for the clarification. One more quick question. I see that the Redding Type S FL bushing die comes with an expander ball as well. Let's say I get the .338 bushing - then what role does the expander ball play? If it opens the case up anymore it will no longer be .338. I'm guessing...

Before I reloaded I had good luck (sub moa) with 180 accubonds, then really liked the 180 federal trophy coppers (0.5 moa). The TTSX was the closest I could find to the Trophy Coppers, and every load from 61.0 to 63.0 in half grain increments was under 0.75 moa, with three under 0.5. I seated...

I mentioned it in your other thread, but my 300 WSM x-bolt loves 180 grain Barnes TTSX.

As I get more and more OCD about this reloading business, I'm now considering switching from my Redding Deluxe Die to a Redding S type bushing die. I've used both federal and norma brass in my 300 WSM, and plan to stick with norma going forward. If I measure the neck OD of a once fired norma...

I'm very new to reloading, but I got a few good 0.5 MOA loads with H4350 using 180 grain TTSX and WLR primers. 2890 fps was the sweet spot for my 23 inch barrel. I have 1 pound of IMR4451 that I'm going to work up in the coming weeks.

Would this work: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00K2V9MEM/?tag=lrhmag19-20 Not sure which grit to get?

Thanks. Yep, that's a nasty little edge alright! Nickel brass is trashed.

I finally got photo bucket up and running. Here is the suspect edge doing the damage: View from inside the magazine feed: Damage to the case:

I'm 99% sure it's on extraction. I just started reloading and and have fired 50 of my own loads so far, and each one I chambered individually through the ejection port and not from the magazine. LoneTraveler recommend the same procedure are you I believe, and I will definitely give it a...

Hmmm, I may consider tackling this myself.....the emory cloth popsicle stick sounds relatively easy, yet hard for me to mess up and do damage.

I will absolutely try what you're saying with the magic marker over the entire case, thanks for the tip! To answer your question, no, I did not use the magazine at all. I loaded all rounds directly through the ejection port. Did you see all 4 of the pictures from my last post? I think...
