[QUOTE="Forester, post: 330642, member: 11102"] Sounds like no bushing to me too. Do this: Mic your neck thickness, a ball mic is best but you can get by carefully with calipers. Double that number and add it to bullet diameter. Now subtract .003" and order a bushing that size. I would also order a bushing or two on either side of that just to be sure you get the right one, .001" error in your neck thickness will matter here... Example: 7mm bullet=.284" + (.014"necks x 2)=.312" now subtract however much "grip" you need on the bullet, for magazine fed I can usually get by with .003" so you would use a .309" bushing. [/QUOTE]
