[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 476243, member: 25383"] I welcome you as well! I do see a slight error in your engineering that really needs to be brought to light. * without a sizing ball in a die your correct in your assumption that the error will be pushed towards the I.D. of the case neck. It's a natural thing to take the path of least resistence * but if you have a die with a sizer ball in it; the error will be pushed outwards towards the O.D. of the case. (path of least resistence again) * But if you use a sizer ball and a bushing at the sametime the path of least resistence should be ever so slightly in the I.D. due to area alone. In theory you could use the sizing ball to sorta iron out the the I.D., and force it into a bushing of a certain size. I know of no one that does this, and perhaps the shoulder of the case might collapse instead I size my cases in a full length Forster die (I like their stem better than anybody elses). Then I shave my necks to the diameter I'm after. I never run a sizer stem thru those cases again unless something has gone wrong. The bushing floats and simply follows the O.D. of the neck; which we already know is turned concentric with the I.D. (Wilson die) My main concern here is the collet itself following the neck, or will the neck follow the collet. It appears that at least in some case the collet follows the neck. I didn't get that when I tried them, but I'm going to try it again. I still have second thoughts about the lines left in the neck, and my necks were not round gary [/QUOTE]
