[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 1662522, member: 69192"] I've been fire forming .270 brass from new brass for .270AI. I have been full length resizing the brass without the expander ball, and then running the brass into a Sinclair mandrel die. It's an extra step, however my first time ever using a mandrel die, not too concerned about how the brass comes out, so not too worried whether I am shooting clover leafs or not; just trying to get some experience in with the mandrel die. The tension on the bullet seems find, the concentricity is also good. [I]Will this method work with my finished product[/I], or do I have to leave an expander ball in the full-length sizing die? At this time I am not planning on a bushing die. I spoke with Benn from Hornady, he said that he does not use them, and he does not see any need for them???? I am buying good brass, I have a neck turning tool, however not sure if I am going to need it.!!????? I read a lot of posts in reference to what we are discussing right now. Some of the replies seem to make sense, then information/replies starts to get opinionated, then things start to run together and get a little confusing. I have found that I am learning by doing and trying not to make senseless purchases. I have been reloading for a very long time, yet precision reloading and the various processes are new stuff, so there's a learning curve here for me. [/QUOTE]
