[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 157944, member: 12"] what is the loaded round diameter? That is the key and way Redding talks to do it (.001 under the smallest avg neck diameter of the loaded rounds). Also if you read carefully they are intimating neck turned cases which is normally BR standards, ie single shot and very little neck tension. they also state that using Type S bushings and unturned necks, go .002 under the smallest average loaded round. It looks like you gave the unloaded case neck dimensions. That is not an accurate way to determine what size bushing. Also you may find that only .001 neck tension is not enough to hold the bullet in the case with the recoil of a magnum in a magazine. Testing shooting with loaded mag will tell you if they creep forward. BH [/QUOTE]
