[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 499985, member: 5302"] I'll second this motion and vote for it too. With rimless bottleneck cases, they've typically shot the most accurate using full lenght sizing dies set to bump the shoulder back no more than a couple thousandths. This reduces body diameters about the same. If you use a bushing die such as one from Redding or RCBS, you won't need one of those neck-bending balls to up size the case neck; just use one about 2 to 4 thousandths smaller than a loaded round's neck diameter. Tighter/smaller one for more grip, looser/larger ones for less grip on the bullet. The case neck expands about half as much as it gets sized down in the bushing die. Sierra Bullets resizes their cases of this type this way to test their products for qualtiy. Been doing it since the 1950's and nobody shoot's 'em as accurate as they do in their rail guns using standard SAAMI chambers. [/QUOTE]
