Being new to bushing die sizing I have a few questions....
First, which do you think is better and what are the advantages and disadvantages of both.... neck bushing sizing and body die or FL bushing die?
I have the neck and body die for my 300 RUM and right now, my aim is to neck size only until the body gets a little too sticky to chamber well, then use the body die to partially size the body just enough so the case chambers well.
I want to get another set of dies for a 25-06 and I'm wondering if I should just go with the FL die and set it up to partially size the case? This would keep things simple with one less die and one less operation.
Next, I plan to leave a doughnut at the base of the neck to align the neck concentrically with the neck chamber. Is this necessary if I am sizing the body to barely fit the chamber? Advatages and disadvantages?
Thanks,
