[QUOTE="BillR, post: 166418, member: 462"] The cases have all been annealed prior to fireforming. I then turned the necks and sorted them as to size. I had been advised that .003 was enough clearance for a loaded round. (Maybe bad advise) So when I ordered the bushing I figured that a .279 would hold the bullet. Didn't happen. The .257 bullet drops right down the neck. Won't come out easy but my collet bullet puller takes care of that without any major problem. Using the .012 neck cases from the culls worked out ok. Got the gun sighted in and everything working right with no extra presure signs and bullets staying where I had them seated, about .015 off the lands. I am going to take your advise and anneal them again though and see if the problem goes away. Can't hurt anything. I also was wondering if the neck expander would be removed after I went thru and resized all the brass and then run them thru again. Maybe that would give them enough neck tension. It has been fun playing with gun as I feel like a detictive. I keep finding things to investigate and lots of clues to problems. Its been a long road already but I will say this. I have NEVER had brass that was this uniform in every way and I don't know if its going to improve accuracy or not yet. Might not make the groups smaller but has to cut out some of the fliers a person gets. [/QUOTE]
