[QUOTE="drenge, post: 282613, member: 9300"] Thanks for the quick replies! Just to clarify - I neck sized with a Lee collet die then seated with a RCBS competition seater. The ammunition is fully loaded when I measure the case neck. I am leaning towards the Redding S Bushing Die... Any other suggestions? I did measure the case neck thickness again with the RCBS Case Master and applied pressure to the "case neck pin sleeve" which tilted my brass up a bit straighter as I measured. That's one of the problems with the RCBS is if you have heavier brass (larger caliber) the case neck pin sleeve is not heavy enough to keep the inside of the neck held tightly against the case neck pin. The brass is horizontal and tilts slightly down towards the butt of the brass. Anyway, doing this I got a measurement of .011 neck thickness. That gives me .306!! Ugh... I think I will adjust my collet die, load a few more rounds, and stick to the measurement I get with a loaded case. Any suggestions?? [/QUOTE]
