[QUOTE="woods, post: 282602, member: 6042"] Well the easiest way to do it is to measure the outside neck diameter of a loaded round and subtract the bullet grip you want. When you said "I measured the diameter of the case neck after reloading with a Lee Collet Die." did you mean to say after RESIZING with a Lee Collet Die? I think Mike thought you meant after seating a bullet but then the Lee Collet would be confusing. Anyway, seat a bullet, measure the outside neck diameter with a caliper and subtract the bullet grip, usually .003". For instance if the OD of the neck was .312" then .312"-.003"=.309" get a .309" bushing and you can also get a .310" bushing to give a little lighter grip if you want. [/QUOTE]
