[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1280471, member: 10291"] I use a Redding S neck dye in the fashion you describe. To do it properly you will need a caliper and a headspace guage to measure your cases. Hornady makes a good kit. Simply take one of your fired cases and measure the headspace. Adjust your dye to size your case .002" less. For bushing size, take the bullet diameter (ex. .308), add the case mouth wall thickness and double it(ex. .015"x2=.030") Add this to the bullet diameter. This would be .338". I like a bushing size that is .002" smaller so I would use a .336" bushing. Some shooters may try a few i.e. .335", 336", .337".
