[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 2453206, member: 313"] I haven't pulled an expander button/ball up through a case neck in decades. Doing so can definitely create inconsistencies. I have been using bushing dies for quite some time and have had excellent results. Virtually all of my rifles will shoot <.5moa @ 400yds with carefully tailored handloads. I only own "hunting" rifles and the level of accuracy that I'm getting actually exceeds my needs. Using mandrels [B]might[/B] make my ammo a bit more consistent, but I doubt I'd be able to see anything on paper at the distances I shoot. If you're shooting competitively at long range than the use of mandrels may show some on-target improvement but beyond that, I don't see the benefit. [/QUOTE]
