[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 651782, member: 24624"] Neck tension is more a function of the neck wall thickness and annealing. .008" won't make any difference. The bullet will become the expander button. So, you'll get the same tension as you would if the necks were .001" rather than .008" smaller than your bullet. The solution would be to use a properly adjusted collet die, or bushing die, or custom die. After sizing, you'd like the ID of the neck to be .001-.002" smaller than the bullet OD. Smaller ID is just over-working your brass. And, the same size as the bullet is not good. -- richard [/QUOTE]
