[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 103421, member: 313"] Measure your [b]loaded[/b] round neck diameter with whatever brass you will be using in the new die. Subtract .003" from that measurement. The figure you get should be the bushing size needed. This will allow for .001" brass spring-back and .002" neck tension. If you will be using the .223 ammo in an autoloader you may want to consider using a little more neck tension to ensure that bullets don't get pushed back into the case as they are shoved up the feed ramp.
