[QUOTE="bigedp51, post: 1155470, member: 28965"] Below is a cutaway drawing of a Forster benchrest full length die with the high mounted floating expander and spindle assembly. The neck of the case is still held the the neck of the die when the expander enters the case neck. These Forster dies greatly reduce neck runout on your sized cases. [IMG]http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o254/bigedp51/Sizer_Die_011_zpst2zm6m7y.gif[/IMG] This floating expander system works so well I ordered the Forster expander and spindle assemblies for my RCBS dies. (see below) [IMG]http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o254/bigedp51/IMG_2140_zpsea657d9e.jpg[/IMG] I see no reason to use a bushing die with standard off the shelf factory rifles. When the neck is sized .005 or more smaller with a bushing die it will induce neck runout. And you are encouraged to size the neck smaller in two steps when sizing more the .005 to prevent this induced neck runout. A bushing floats and can move side to side and even tilt and is not the best option with a large neck factory chamber. And adding a Forster expander and spindle to a existing RCBS die is far cheaper than anything else. Also you can buy a Forster full length die and have the neck honed to your specific diameter.
